Do you get nervous at dental appointments? Do you feel faint or clammy at the thought of dental treatments and cleaning? IV sedation is the answer, providing painless treatment and no memory of the procedures.
IV sedation is just one method to administer pain-free dental care. But you may be surprised by how much patients have preferred IV sedation to get their dental treatments done quickly over other sedation dentistry treatments, and here’s why.
IV sedation is a carefully measured amount of sedative medicine that is administered through the arm or the hand. This induces a “twilight” consciousness, where you are not asleep and can communicate with the dentist, but will have no memory of the procedure. The dosage level can be adjusted throughout the treatment, and all of your vital signs are carefully monitored.
Enjoy a variety of IV sedation benefits, including:
Dr. Grubb is a certified IV sedation dentist, so patients can rest assured that they are in very safe and experienced hands. IV sedation is preferred due to the fact that the dosage can be controlled at any point by Dr. Grubb and our team.
NOTE: It’s very important that you let Dr. Grubb and our team know about any health changes or medical conditions that you possess. This will help determine if it’s safe to administer IV sedation for your treatment.

You’ll likely need to wear short-sleeved comfortable clothes to make IV placement easier. You should also remove items like nail polish and contact lenses, which can hide signs of cyanosis.
Whether undergoing a routine dental appointment or a complex procedure, IV sedation is an effective way to help reduce dental anxiety and pain. IV sedation can help patients with sensitive gag reflexes, dental phobias, or invasive procedures feel comfortable and relaxed as they receive treatment.
