At Southfield Family Dental Center, we understand that dental anxiety and fear are common among patients of all ages. That's why we offer Intravenous (IV) Sedation Dental Services to make your dental experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Our IV sedation services are specifically tailored for patients aged 16 years and older, ensuring a safe and effective solution for dental procedures.
IV sedation, also known as intravenous sedation, is a technique used to provide relaxation and relief from anxiety during dental procedures. It involves administering sedative medication directly into the bloodstream through a vein, allowing for rapid onset and precise control of the sedative effect. This method ensures that patients remain comfortable and relaxed throughout their treatment while still being able to respond to verbal cues from the dentist.
IV sedation offers several benefits for patients undergoing dental procedures:
Dental fear is surprisingly common. Consider asking our caring dentists about IV sedation dentistry if you suffer from dental fear or anxiety or any of the following difficulties:
Experience severe dental anxiety or phobia
Have difficulty sitting still for prolonged periods
Require extensive dental work in a single visit
Have sensitive gag reflexes
Have a low pain threshold
Before recommending IV sedation, our dental team will thoroughly evaluate your medical history and discuss any concerns or questions you may have regarding the sedation process.
