IV Sedation

Anna Kids Dentistry is your trusted destination for comprehensive pediatric dental care. We understand that some children may require a deeper level of sedation to help them feel comfortable and relaxed during dental procedures. That’s why we offer intravenous (IV) sedation, a safe and effective option that ensures your child’s well-being throughout their dental treatment.

IV sedation involves the administration of sedative medication through a vein, allowing for a deeper level of sedation. This method is typically used for children who experience severe dental anxiety, have extensive dental needs, or require complex procedures. An experienced anesthesiologist or a specialized dental professional administers and monitors the sedation while our skilled dental team performs the necessary dental work.

Deep Sedation: IV sedation provides a deeper level of sedation, allowing children to remain completely relaxed and comfortable throughout their dental treatment.

Anxiety & Fear Reduction: IV sedation helps alleviate dental anxiety and fear, ensuring a stress-free experience for children who may feel anxious or have difficulty cooperating during dental procedures.

Increased Cooperation: With the profound level of sedation, children who have difficulty sitting still or cooperating can receive the necessary dental care without discomfort or anxiety.

Complex Procedures: IV sedation is particularly beneficial for children requiring complex or lengthy dental procedures. It allows our dental professionals to perform the necessary treatments efficiently and effectively while ensuring your child’s comfort.

Initial Consultation: During the consultation, our dental team will evaluate your child’s dental health, review their medical history and discuss any concerns or specific needs. We will determine if IV sedation is the appropriate option for their dental treatment.

Pre-Sedation Evaluation: Before the scheduled dental appointment, your child may undergo a pre-sedation evaluation to assess their overall health and suitability for IV sedation. This evaluation ensures their safety and well-being during the procedure.

Administration & Monitoring: On the day of the procedure, an experienced anesthesiologist or a specialized dental professional will administer the sedative medication intravenously. Throughout the treatment, they will closely monitor your child’s vital signs, breathing and overall well-being.

Dental Treatment: While your child is under IV sedation, our skilled dental team will perform the necessary dental procedures with precision and care. Your child will be comfortably sedated throughout the entire process.

Recovery & Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure is complete, your child will be carefully monitored as they recover from sedation. Once they are fully awake and alert, we will provide post-treatment care instructions and guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery at home.

If your child requires a deeper level of sedation or has extensive dental needs, IV sedation may be the ideal option to ensure their comfort and well-being during dental procedures.
