Intravenous Sedation Boise Idaho Dentist Calms Fears
Most LifeSmiles patients who have Intravenouse or IV sedation also known as intravenous sedadation and conscious sedationin Boise Idaho recall very little from their dental surgery. They report just deeply resting peacfully and then waking up and the dental surger has been completed. IV sedation has been used for years in dentistry and by LIfeSmiles DDS in Boise, Idaho.
Intravenous IV sedation is administered by injecting a sedative agent into one of the superficial veins of your arm or hand. As the vein is usually just under the skin and the needles used these days are extremely thin, this is usually quite painless. Most people are good candidates for this kind of sedation. Some medical conditions such as severe lung diseases, some heart problems, obesity or anorexia rule it out as an option, however.
Unlike general anesthesia, IV sedation allows you to remain medically conscious yet deeply relaxed throughout your surgery.
Intravenous sedation is the administration of a tranquillizer drug into the blood system in order to facilitate dental surgery in the highly anxious patient. An IV sedative produces a very strong sensation of deep relaxation and well-being in the vast majority of patients.
