Are there any disadvantages?
- A very small needle has to be put in the arm or hand ("venipuncture").
- It is possible to experience complications at the site where the needle entered, for example hematoma (a localized swelling filled with blood)
- You need transport home..
After IV Sedation:
- Have your escort take you home and rest for the remainder of
the day.
- Have an adult stay with you until you're fully alert.
- Don't perform any strenuous or hazardous activities and don't
drive a motor vehicle for the rest of the day.
- Don't eat a heavy meal immediately. If you're hungry, eat something
light, e. g. liquids and toast.
- If you experience nausea, lie down for a while or drink a glass
of coke.
- Don't drink alcohol or take medications for the rest of the
day unless you've contacted your dentist first.
- Take medications as directed by your dentist.
- If you have any unusual problems, call your dentist.
