I.V. Conscious Sedation Can Help
Many Who Need Dental Work

I.V. Conscious Sedation is designed for those who have a fear of dentists or dental work, or those who don't have the time for multiple visits.

Dr. Steven Kiffel M.D. is part of the medical staff at Jupiter Dental Spa. Dr Kiffel is board-certified and is responsible for overseeing all I.V. sedation cases in order to guarantee the highest level of patient care.

For dentistry that's worry-free, I.V. Conscious Sedation allows the patient to get dental work done in one or two visits, in a comfortable, painless, and worry-free state. To find out more, please contact our office.

Nitrous Oxide

A small rubber inhaler will be placed over the patient's nose and adjusted so that the patient is comfortable. At this time, the patient will be breathing 100% oxygen.

Some patients at their first laughing gas visit will feel that they are not getting enough "air." The patient should tell the sedation dentist and he or she will provide them with even more oxygen to breathe.

Once the patient is comfortable breathing oxygen, the sleep dentist gradually will introduce nitrous oxide. Over the next three to five minutes, the patient will be asked, "What are you feeling?" as the amount of nitrous oxide is slowly increased.

Oral Sedation

We use oral sedation here with proper monitoring and only for certain cases; but, the IV sedation method is much safer, the medications are reversible instantaneously, we monitor patients as in a hospital setting, and IV sedation is a true conscious sedation instead of mere anxiety relief. Oral sedation is fine, but only for certain patients and procedures!

Sedation for painless dental procedures is practiced in our denist offices at Jupiter FL, Lake Worth FL and Pompano Beach FL.
