Caring for someone with special needs isn’t always easy, good oral hygiene can be especially difficult. Whether your loved one is affected by Alzheimer’s, Down Syndrome, Autism, Parkinson’s, Cerebral Palsy, or another type of special needs, receiving quality dental care can be tough.
Brushing at least twice a day for two minutes and flossing daily can be almost impossible with someone with physical or mental disability. Resulting in declining oral health and the need for uncomfortable and even traumatizing dental procedures.
Partnering with a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) can help
There is no need to put your loved one through a taxing situation or unnecessary distress for an extraction or root canal, or even a cleaning. There are a number of choices when it comes to comforting a loved one while at the dentist. IV sedation is a safe and effective for anyone to have a relaxing experience at the dentist.
What is a Nurse Anesthetists, this is how Nurse.org explains:
“Nurse anesthetists care for patients before, during and after procedures. In most cases, patient care begins with a meeting where the patient’s medications, health status and expectations for the procedure are reviewed. The CRNA determines the appropriate analgesics and administers the correct dosage during the procedure, monitoring the patient’s vital signs continuously. Care ends when the patient has completely recovered from the effects of anesthesia.”
Because IV sedation is tailored to fit an individual needs, offers a deep level of sedation, and has rapid results. The patient doesn’t feel any anxiety, pain, or even remember much from the appointment.
