    remainder of the day after your appointment.

    If you have any queries at all about the sedation, please get in touch and we’ll be

    Although dental personnel primarily treat the area in and around your mouth, your
    mouth is part of your entire body.

    Health problems that you may have or medications that you may be taking could, have an important interrelationship with the dentistry you will receive.

    You have chosen IV Conscious Sedation for your dental treatment. This method keeps vyou awake but deeply relaxed. While you may not recall much of the procedure, your protective reflexes will remain active.

    • Additional medications (if required): Remimazolam (alternative to Midazolam),
    Paracetamol, and Dexamethasone (to manage pain and swelling).


    • You will not be completely asleep, but deeply relaxed. This is not a general
    anaesthetic.


    Possible Risks:


    • Bruising or tenderness at the site where the cannula is placed (moderate risk)


    • Nausea and vomiting (low risk)


    • Slower breathing (low risk)


    • Rare complications requiring hospital care (low risk)


    Alternatives to IV Sedation:


    • Local anaesthetic only


    • Relative analgesia (gas and air – requires referral)


    • General anaesthesia (hospital-based, requires referral)
