IV sedation makes it possible for even the most anxious patients to receive the dental care they deserve. So, if you suffer from dental anxiety, or if you need extensive treatments, have a bad gag reflex, or have behavioural, physical, or mental special needs, IV sedation may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
But are there any side effects?
IV Sedation Side Effects: What You Should Know
During IV sedation, we’ll inject anti-anxiety medication directly into your bloodstream. You’ll be completely relaxed and may drift in and out of sleep during your dental treatment.
We’ll carefully monitor your heart rate and vital signs throughout your time with us, and you’ll need someone to drive you home afterwards.
Before you leave, we’ll provide recovery and aftercare tips.
Some of the most common side effects of IV sedation include:
- Drowsiness and fatigue
- Partial or no recollection of your dental visit
- Mild upset stomach
- Headache or dizziness
- Dry mouth
