IV Sedation Beverly Hills CA

Up to 15 percent of our population avoids dental treatment because of anxiety. They miss out on the wellness benefits of a healthy mouth, and the emotional boost of a gorgeous smile. Beverly Hills Dental Health and Wellness offers the comforting option of IV sedation to help all patients get the care they deserve.

When sedation makes sense

Sedation is a good choice for the fearful patient, and there are other circumstances where it is beneficial:

• Multiple procedures or extensive treatment. We devote as much time as necessary, even a full day, to perform the work in one appointment. That reduces travel and missed work time. Sedation allows your body to relax for comfort and a speedier recovery.
• Active gag reflex. Sedation calms an unpleasant reaction to the sensation of hands or tools in your mouth.
• Physical or mental challenges. Some patients cannot sit restfully for the duration of a dental visit, or find the sights, sounds, and smells upsetting. Sedation helps to ensure a drama-free appointment.

Highest level of care

We work with a trained anesthesiologist to provide safe, effective IV sedation. This method allows the greatest control over the patient’s depth of sedation. The medication is introduced into the system gradually, rather than in one large dose (as with oral drugs). You are not left alone, and vital signs are continually monitored. Dosage can be adjusted as needed to ensure your wellbeing throughout the appointment.

Although you are conscious, you remain relaxed and unconcerned. The medication has a mild amnesic property. You may have little memory of the visit.

Added advantage

Having a licensed anesthesiologist available allows us to also offer intravenous nutrition. This is the optimum choice for health and healing.
