IV Sedation
in Columbia and Hattiesburg, MS

There are several situations where IV sedation could be the most suitable choice for you. If you're facing oral surgery or a highly intricate procedure and prefer to be asleep during it, IV sedation may be recommended. Similarly, if you struggle to remain still or relaxed during treatment, this sedative can alleviate that challenge, making the process more manageable for both you and our staff.

The majority of patients visiting our office are suitable candidates for IV sedation. Our sedation dentist will meticulously assess their health and medical history before recommending any sedative. If you cannot undergo sedation, it's crucial to inform us during your appointment. IV sedation applies to both pediatric and adult patients who may require it.

The process commences by seating you comfortably in one of our treatment rooms. A small IV is then gently inserted into your arm, delivering a safe and effective sedative into your system. Within about 15 minutes, you will gradually enter a sleep-like state, allowing us to proceed with the necessary procedure. Afterward, the IV is removed, and you are escorted to one of our recovery areas. Sufficient time is provided for you to awaken fully before leaving our office. It's essential to have a friend or relative available to accompany you home if needed.
