Why Choose Intravenous Sedation for Minor Dental Surgery?

What is Intravenous Sedation?

Intravenous sedation (Sedation) is a method of inducing general anesthesia by injecting sleeping medication, sedatives, or anesthetic drugs intravenously, causing the patient to enter a state of controlled unconsciousness. The patient loses consciousness, experiences pain reduction, and their nervous system is protected. Intravenous sedation includes simple intravenous sedation and combined intravenous sedation:

• Simple Intravenous Sedation: Using a solution of sedative drugs.
• Combined Intravenous Sedation: Using a solution of sedative drugs along with pain relievers or other sedative solutions.

During the intravenous sedation process, the patient can either breathe on their own or be equipped with an endotracheal tube to ensure the safety of their breathing.

Sedation is administered before undergoing surgery.
