[BELFAST, 19/02/2018] – The effectiveness of intravenous (IV sedation) on incredibly anxious dental patients cannot be overstated, as demonstrated by the practitioners at Blue Sky Dentistry.

IV Sedation’s Merits

Dentists have more than enough ways of dealing with overly anxious patients; those which can make even the most routine dental checkups a pain in the neck. Blue Sky Dentistry believes in the merits of intravenous (IV) sedation — a technique which has served them and their customers for years.

The name intravenous says it all: while other forms of anaesthesia like laughing gas and sedative pills are administered largely through inhalation and ingestion, IV sedatives are given directly through the vein. This method allows the sedation to take effect much quicker, while also enabling dentists to continually adjust the dosage as necessary.

Blue Sky Dentistry’s IV sedation is designed to alleviate anxiety and completely relax terrified patients, but without putting them to sleep. Patients are still able to respond to verbal cues from the dentist, and the state of complete wakeful relaxation enables the dentist to accomplish more in less time. A day after the procedure, the patients remember little to nothing of what happened the day before. In a patient’s point of view, time appears to pass very quickly.

Who’s Eligible

Blue Sky Dentistry’s IV sedation services are available for most patients, except for those with more serious cases of anxiety (a fear so irrationally strong they completely avoid going to the dentist’s office entirely). IV sedation can also be a good choice for people with specific needs. This includes patients with low pain threshold, incredibly sensitive teeth, bad gag reflexes, as well as those who need to undergo a good amount of dental work in one sitting.
