There is nothing worse than having a toothache over the holidays. Now is the time to take care of all your oral health care needs you’ve been putting off. If it’s the pain, type of procedures you need, not able to sit still for extended period of time, or have a disability or special needs, that is keeping you from going to the dentist, don’t worry, there is an easy solution.
IV sedation is administered through a small needle inserted into the vein in your arm or hand. While you are not totally asleep, you are unaware of any treatments being done. You enter a state of unawareness, you won’t remember much, if any of the procedure. You will be calm and comfortable through the entire visit. Before you know it, your teeth will look amazing for that next picture.
To ensure the process goes smoothly, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, who is highly trained in IV sedation will be there to ensure the proper amount of medication is administered, and to monitor your heart rate and vital signs.
This way the dentist will be able to focus solely on the treatment, not having to divide their attention means a higher level of safety and quality.
What Can you expect?
While you won’t fall totally asleep, you won’t be fully conscious either. You won’t realize what is going on, but will be able to respond to verbal questions and commands.
Another benefit of sedation dentistry, you can have multiple procedures done in one visit. It is an easy way to catch up on years of skipped dental appointments.
If you feel you or a loved one can benefit from sedation dentistry, talk to your dentist. Then contact Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates, we bring hospital level sedation to your dentist office. Never compromise on safety.
