What to Expect During Your IV Sedation Appointment
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an initial consultation at our Booragoon clinic where Dr Fine will assess your medical history, dental needs, and anxiety levels. This helps determine if IV Sedation is the best option for you.
Preparation
Before your procedure, you will receive specific instructions regarding fasting and medication adjustments. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the sedation.
The Procedure
On the day of your appointment, a small needle will be placed in your arm or hand to administer the sedative. Most patients compare the feeling of the needle to being pinched. You will quickly begin to feel relaxed and drowsy, though you will remain conscious and able to respond to instructions. Throughout the procedure, Dr Fine and his team will monitor your vital signs to ensure your safety and comfort.
Recovery
After the procedure, you will need some time to recover in our clinic until the effects of the sedation wear off. It's important to arrange for someone to drive you home, as you cannot drive for 6 hours afterwards.
