You can trust Dr. Scott Nagy with your IV Sedation:
IV Moderate Sedation is a safe and effective method both to calm patients
with dental anxiety and to help relax those undergoing more complex dental treatment. However, it’s important that you use the right sedation option for your needs. When you visit us, we’ll discuss your sedation options and recommend the appropriate method for your visit. As one of the only family dentists in the Northern Ohio area licensed to practice safe IV Moderate Sedation Dentistry, we'll ensure your visit goes smoothly and is anxiety-free.
While it may make you feel sleepy, the intention is to help you relax and make your treatment more enjoyable. Sedation Dentistry will simply relax your body and help you feel more tranquil. The type and degree of sedation we use depends upon you and your procedure. We use two main types of sedation, IV Moderate Sedation and Nitrous Oxide.
Because it’s delivered through an IV drip, it can be closely regulated to ensure you remain completely calm and comfortable throughout your procedure. In fact, although you’ll remain awake, you’ll likely remember little-to-nothing about your treatment. While everyone recovers at a different rate from IV Moderate Sedation, you will need someone to drive you home from your visit, and we recommend that you don’t drive or operate heavy machinery for 24 hours afterward. IV Moderate Sedation is an excellent option if you experience severe dental anxiety. We use it regularly for more intensive procedures.
Nitrous oxide is a gentle sedative that you inhale through a mask throughout a dental procedure. The gas is fast-acting, helping you feel more peaceful, while still allowing you to interact with the dentist. Your body also recovers from nitrous oxide quickly. In most cases, you can even drive yourself home after your appointment. Nitrous oxide is a good choice if you have mild to moderate anxieties about dental visits.
