What is intravenous sedation?

A sedative medicine is given through a vein in the arm or the hand. The sedative will make you feel relaxed. You will be able to talk and cooperate with the dental treatment, but most patients cannot remember much about their treatment. Some people take a little time to recover and you will need to stay in the clinic until you are able to walk by yourself. It is important that you have someone with you who can take you home by private transport and stay with you for the rest of the day. This is a mandatory requirement.
 
This technique is safe and will allow treatment to be completed in over 90% of all anxious patients. It should not be confused with general anaesthesia.
