Sedation Dentistry continued...
During Sedation Dentistry, an anaesthetic is applied to the forearm or the back of your hand, and then a sedative and often an analgesic (painkiller) is administered into the vein. It is not like a normal intramuscular injection, the injection is virtually painless.
IV Sedation is a very safe procedure. Sedation performed in dental surgeries by qualified professionals has an excellent safety record. During sedation, our anaesthetist is always with you. Your vital signs are monitored during your entire procedure and you will never be left alone.
You are required not to eat or drink for at least one hour prior to the procedure. If you are currently on any medications please inform us so that these can be noted. Following the sedation treatment, you will sleep lightly for a short time and there will be numbness in your mouth where any local anaesthetic was injected. Due to the sedation effect of the medication, you will need someone to escort you home after treatment is completed.
