No. Solid foods are typically stopped six to eight hours before an IV sedation procedure to avoid any complications during treatment.
Our dentists will provide clear instructions on how to prepare your child for IV sedation and help them recover smoothly afterward.
Understanding IV Sedation
Our dentists usually suggest IV sedation for children with complex treatment needs, dental phobia or fear, or for kids with mental, physical, or emotional special needs.
IV sedation delivers medication intravenously to your child throughout their procedure, while their heart rate and vital signs are continuously monitored. We can adjust medication throughout the procedure as needed, so your child feels relaxed, like they are sleeping, yet remains responsive to our dentists.
IV sedation is a great way for our dentists to complete multiple procedures in one sitting while keeping your child comfortable.
