IV Sedation
Patients who avoid dental care because of fear or apprehension may, through the use of anesthesia, undergo treatment in a relaxed, comfortable setting. We use intravenous sedation, which is both easy to administer and pleasant to receive. This technique has a rapid onset, diminishes anxiety, and produces a complete state of relaxation. Time will seem to pass more quickly, and you will have limited memory of your endodontic procedure.
Anxiety toward dental treatment is the leading cause of medical emergencies in the dental office. Intravenous sedation reduces the chance of adverse reaction by significantly reducing or eliminating moderate to severe apprehension levels. Additionally, IV sedation allows our doctors to perform a variety of procedures that would ordinarily take several visits during one appointment. Because intravenous-sedation minimizes apprehension, your doctor can work more efficiently and with more concentration. A fully trained and qualified dental anesthesiologist administers the anesthetic, monitors vital functions, and maintains patient comfort during the dental procedure.
If your general dentist has recommended that you see an endodontist, or if you may need any of our services, please contact our Plano office. At North Texas Endodontic Associates, we care for patients from Plano and the Dallas/Fort Worth area with thorough clinical treatment and gentle, compassionate care, including IV sedation.
