Sedation Dentistry

Sedation DENTISTS In St. Petersburg

IV sedation dentistry uses medication delivered through a vein to help patients feel deeply relaxed and calm during dental procedures. It’s especially helpful for those with severe dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or who need extensive or multiple treatments in one visit.

What Drug is Used for IV Sedation?

The most commonly used drug for IV sedation in dentistry is midazolam, a fast-acting benzodiazepine that provides relaxation, sedation, and mild amnesia. In some cases, other medications like diazepam or propofol may be used depending on the patient’s needs and the procedure.

Procedures That May Require IV Sedation:

Wisdom tooth extractions or other surgical procedures
Multiple or complex dental treatments in one visit
Patients with severe dental anxiety or phobia
Individuals with a strong gag reflex
Patients who have difficulty sitting still for long periods
Those with special healthcare needs
Patients with sensitivities to local anesthesia alone
