Patient anxiety is a big issue for most dentists here in New Hampshire. In fact, it can be detrimental to the lives of patients, having both psychological and physiological effects. Research shows most patients prefer sedation for most dental work, from simple cleanings to extractions and Endodontics.
This anxiety also affects dentist. This burden takes a toll and can even limit the treatment options a dentist has, without increasing their liability. Especially with those patients who need a deeper level of sedation.
The solution is a safe, high quality, and affordable IV sedation brought to your dental office though Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates.
“Partnering with an anesthesia group who offers you an essentially cost-neutral way to attract more patients into your office. Offering patients flexible, affordable anesthesia care is a marketable asset. Not only is offering IV sedation “in vogue” with trends, having sedation readily available is something that can be included in advertising materials and can be a draw even for patients who may be considering your office for non-sedation procedures and regular dental care,” cited from an article in Inscriptions, the official publication of the Arizona Dental Association.
Having an anesthesia provider come to your office offers safety for the dentist and the patients.
Bringing safe sedation in your office utilizes minimal resources, attracts patients, and drives up referrals. Partnering with an anesthesia provers is a win-win situation, by increasing the number of patients with the liability protection of an insured and licensed provider administering the sedation.
“Anesthesia requires constant attention for safe administration because anesthesia is a “spectrum” that is unique for each patient. Even using straight-forward intravenous medications, such as midazolam and fentanyl, can easily put a patient into deep sedation or even general anesthesia, where airway reflexes are obtunded or lost. Even with advanced monitoring and extensive education, administering anesthesia requires constant vigilance.”
