IV Sedation
If a patient is too anxious to be a good candidate for nitrous oxide we may recommend IV sedation. This allows your child to remain conscious in a deep state of relaxation. The anesthesia is delivered intravenously into the bloodstream and your child is carefully monitored the entire time. This approach eliminates any behavioral concerns and allows more extensive procedures to be completed in one sitting.
The use of IVs can sometimes cause anxiety for the parents, which is why it’s important to know that safety is always our #1 concern and our experienced staff members are fully credentialed to perform this procedure. All of these sedation techniques are used on a case-by-case basis and only with parental knowledge and permission.
