your Questions, Answered
How safe is IV Moderate Sedation?
IV Sedation is extremely safe when performed by a licensed dentist who adheres to state protocols. Our continuous vital signs monitoring, advanced equipment, and extensive licensure training ensure the highest level of patient safety and professional oversight throughout your appointment.
All doctors who administer IV sedation in our office are ACLS-certified and trained to handle airway and sedation-related emergencies. We follow the Florida Administrative Code 64B5-14 for emergency preparedness, which includes maintaining an emergency cart stocked with the necessary equipment, medications, and reversal agents for the drugs we use. Sedation medications are given slowly and in carefully measured doses (titration) to achieve relaxation without compromising safety. Throughout your procedure, your breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels are continuously monitored.
Will I remember the procedure?
With IV Sedation, most patients have little to no memory of the procedure once the medication wears off. With Oral Conscious Sedation, you will be deeply relaxed, but you may have hazy or fragmented memories of the visit.
Does insurance cover sedation services?
Insurance coverage for sedation varies widely. While Nitrous Oxide is sometimes covered, IV Sedation is generally considered elective and may not be. We will verify your benefits and provide transparent cost estimates before your procedure.
What medications are used for IV sedation?
We commonly use a combination of midazolam and fentanyl. Midazolam helps you feel calm and relaxed, while fentanyl helps control discomfort during your procedure. Both are given in carefully measured doses and are continuously monitored for your safety.
What are fentanyl and midazolam?
Fentanyl is a strong pain-relieving medication often used in medical and dental settings for short procedures. In IV sedation, it helps prevent discomfort while you’re relaxed. Midazolam is a type of sedative from the benzodiazepine family. It reduces anxiety, helps you feel calm, and often causes short-term memory loss for the procedure so you remember little afterward. When used together in controlled, small doses — and with continuous monitoring — they allow you to stay comfortable, safe, and responsive during treatment.
