IV sedation involves administering a drug directly into the bloodstream. A dentist can choose from a variety of drugs depending on the patient and the procedure involved.

At Fontenot Family Dentistry, we know that not everyone is fond of needles. We’ll ease your worries by explaining the process to you and providing whatever emotional support you need. Once we’ve administered the IV, we’ll start your procedure. You’ll be done and out of our office before you know it.
