It is absolutely safe. Dr. Green will give you a small pill to take one hour prior to treatment. If you choose, he can give more pills, once you get to the office, to get the desired sedation effect. Dr. Green has found that I.V. Sedation is easier and safer than oral sedation.
A major benefit of some of these IV drugs is that the patient will have no memory of most, or even all, of the dental treatment. Another benefit is the comparatively quick recovery time. During the procedure, devices will be attached to the patient to monitor breathing, blood pressure and heart rate.

Not all dentists can provide I.V. sedation. The Florida Dental Association only issues permits to dentists who have met the requirements of special training in advanced cardiac life support, EKG, pulse oximeter and blood pressure monitoring, and have sufficient clinical and patient experience.
Most patients report having little or no memory of the experience, including sounds or smells.
Complex or time-consuming treatments that often require many appointments to complete can be done in as little as one appointment with sedation dentistry.
People who have difficulty getting numb will find that sedation dentistry eliminates this problem.
Premier Dental Care is one of the few Board approved licensed locations in Florida.
