IV Sedation<\/h3>

Your reliable option for pain-free, anxiety-free dentistry<\/h1>

Not all sedation dentistry is equal, and consequently not all IV sedation dentistry is equal. Many dentists advertise themselves as \u201csedation dentists\u201d but are not providing true sedation. In many cases, they are simply using oral sedatives (pills) in a way they weren’t intended to be used.<\/p>

Story City Dental provides true sedation dentistry utilizing IV sedation for any needed dental care. The same IV sedation you would find in an oral surgeon\u2019s office.\u00a0 IV deep sedation far surpasses the level of comfort and safety that any other type of office-based sedation provides.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Overcome dental anxiety, inability to get numb or a strong gag reflex<\/h3>

IV Sedation:
Comfortable, pain-free dental care<\/h1>

We have seen countless patients neglect their dental health out of fear of the dentist. Previous bad experiences, like not getting numb or a strong gag reflex, have caused a severe dental phobia that prevents them from seeking the care they need. Anxious patients often come to us when neglect of a simple dental problem has gotten out of hand, worsening to a pain level that prevents them from functioning normally on a daily basis.<\/p>

There\u2019s no reason to let dental anxiety prevent you from getting the care you deserve \u2014consider IV sedation for stress-free dental appointments!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

IV Sedation considerations<\/h3>

Am I a good candidate?<\/h1>

If you\u2019ve been avoiding the dentist out of fear, anxiety, an inability to get numb or a strong gag reflex, and you\u2019re interested in sleeping through your appointment to get the dental care you need, then yes! IV sedation can help you overcome these issues.<\/p>

Prior to using IV sedation, you will meet for a pre-op appointment to discuss your health history and to perform a simple physical. If he, in consultation with his CRNA, determines you are a good candidate* and it is safe to sedate you, then you will be scheduled for your appointment with IV sedation.<\/p>

*Patients who are not good candidates for IV sedation include those with documented sleep apnea, COPD, uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled blood pressure, or other conditions that could put the patient at risk for adverse reactions to IV sedation.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
