That’s why Dr. Julia Baldwin offers a nervous patient clinic to help you stay relaxed and comfortable during your treatment.
What is IV sedation?
IV sedation is a calming medicine that helps you feel deeply relaxed during your dental visit. It’s given through a small tube in your arm or hand, and it works quickly to put you at ease. You won’t be asleep, but you’ll feel very relaxed, most people don’t even remember much of the treatment afterward.
