When administered by an experienced and highly trained sedation dentist like Dr. Liu, sedation dentistry is considered safe. Additionally, we closely monitor you during treatment as an extra precaution, using the same equipment found in a hospital setting. We’ll be monitoring your respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure to ensure a safe treatment.
Of course, our IV sedation treatment starts with a comprehensive screening appointment, which includes:
- A careful evaluation of your current health
- A careful review of past health issues
- A complete list of past and present diagnoses
- A complete list of medications
Why Choose IV Sedation in Vancouver, BC?
If you’re undergoing invasive or lengthy treatment, IV sedation can make the appointment seem quicker. Also, if you have a strong gag reflex or dental phobia, IV sedation can help you get the care you need without the stress.
It’s important to note that some patients are not good candidates for this level of sedation, including:
- Patients with specific health issues, such as a heart condition
- Patients taking certain medications that can’t be stopped before IV sedation
- Patients who have shown a particular allergy or reaction to sedation in the past
