Why dentists Need Intravenous Sedation?
Fear and anxiety occur in both adults and children. In fact, the American Dental Association stated that 22% of American adults would not go to the dentist for fear of dental surgery.
Therefore, given the patient’s fear of needles, dental IV sedation is a huge challenge for dentists. In addition to psychological effects, dental procedures (for example, implants, prostheses, orthodontics or endodontics, etc.) can cause severe physical pain, which patients and dentists are constantly trying to avoid.
Dentists use needles, needle holders (used to inject liquid medicine into the gums or inside the cheeks), tweezers/tweezers, etc.
To control anxiety and pain during dental surgery, intravenous sedation (IVS) or dental anesthesia has been widely used. Intravenous sedation consists of injecting anti-stress substances into a vein in the patient’s arm or back of the hand.
Anesthesia can be local or systemic, depending on the patient’s condition specified by the dentist. For this procedure, finding veins should be easier to make everything safer and less stressful for the patient. Especially, when their veins are often invisible (dark skin, drug abuse, babies, the elderly, etc.).
Therefore, instruments like the Portable Infrared Vein Finder: Vdetector-P3 are very important in the program. They are based on the emission of light that illuminates the veins below the surface of the skin. Therefore, they become more visible. Vendra Medical offers a wide range of devices with different stands (handheld/portable, desktop and cart supported vein positioners) to meet the different needs of dentists.
