Millions of Americans suffer from some level of dental anxiety, whether due to a negative prior experience, a fear of sharp objects, or uncertainty about their treatment. If you’re one of those people, you’re definitely in good company. You’ve also found the right dental practice. At Key Dental Group, we’ve helped countless patients overcome their fear of dental visits with IV sedation in Madison and Pearl, MS. We have multiple doctors on staff here who are licensed to deliver IV sedation, simplifying scheduling and billing for you. IV sedation is also one of the best types of sedation for treating dental anxiety due to its unique qualities.
We offer a variety of different types and levels of sedation for treatments of every complexity. Using one or a combination of these we can help you stay relaxed and pain-free while you’re here:
Our preferred method, IV sedation is administered intravenously during procedures and puts you in a sleeplike state almost immediately. For this reason, many patients with dental anxiety find it provides the best results during dental implant placement, facial trauma treatment, and wisdom tooth extractions, and more. You won’t feel any pain during your treatment, and you won’t remember it afterward. Many practices don’t offer IV sedation in Madison and Pearl, MS!
This is another common sedation type for our patients suffering dental anxiety because it also produces a calming and relaxed condition and, in some cases, limits your memory of your treatment. With oral sedation you get your anesthetic effect from a pill that you swallow before your procedure.
If you’ve heard of “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is the actual scientific name. Though nitrous oxide doesn’t actually cause you to laugh, it will keep you conscious but calm during treatment. You inhale the gas through a mask. The anesthetic effects wear off quickly once you remove it.
With local anesthesia we can numb specific areas in your mouth that we’re going to treat by applying a topical solution or by injecting it in liquid form near the treatment area. Local anesthesia keeps you completely alert.

IV sedation is administered through a vein, quickly putting you into a deeply relaxed, sleep-like state. It reduces pain, memory of the procedure, and anxiety, making it ideal for lengthy or surgical dental treatments.
You’ll be monitored closely as our licensed doctors administer IV sedation. You won’t feel pain or remember the procedure, and most patients wake up feeling as if no time has passed. It’s available in-office without outside referrals.
IV sedation is fast-acting and deepest in effect. Oral sedation is taken by pill and provides moderate relaxation. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is inhaled and offers mild sedation. All help reduce anxiety and discomfort during treatment.
Most patients feel groggy after IV sedation and need someone to drive them home. Effects wear off within hours, but full alertness may take the rest of the day. You’ll receive post-sedation care instructions before you leave the office.
If dental fear is holding you back, IV sedation offers a safe, proven way to get the care you need without stress. You’ll be deeply relaxed or asleep throughout the procedure with no painful memories afterward.
A sensitive gag reflex can make dental care difficult. IV sedation suppresses this reflex, allowing for comfortable treatment—even during more complex procedures like extractions or implants.
Yes. Avoiding routine care due to anxiety can lead to cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Sedation dentistry helps patients keep up with preventive care by making each visit stress-free.
If fear or discomfort has kept you from the dentist, IV sedation is an excellent option—even for routine care. It helps patients complete much-needed treatment comfortably and confidently.
During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history and anxiety level to recommend the safest and most effective sedation option for your needs. Most healthy adults qualify.
Not at all. Our doctors are licensed to administer IV sedation in-office. You can schedule directly with us—no referrals, outside appointments, or travel required.
