Many dentist in the New Hampshire and Maine are partnering with Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) to give their patients the most comfortable and effective dental treatments. Because their patient’s experience is a priority.
If you have anxiety or fear of going to the dentist, IV sedation will take that all away, enabling you to feel calm and relaxed relaxed, allowing you to have multiple procedures in just one visit, and make even complex treatments a breeze.
What is a CRNA and Why Do You Need One?
CRNA is an acronym for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. It is a person with advanced training to provide this type of anesthesia.
While your dentist will provide the dental procedures, while the CRNA will perform the anesthesia. You may ask, can’t the dentist just do both the treatment and sedation?
According to the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology, CRNA’s Provide safe solutions to dental anesthesia care and advocates on the behalf of the patient.
Dental sedation and anesthesia safe outcomes are best achieved when provided by a healthcare professional, whose only responsibility is the anesthetic management and monitoring of the patient, and a proceduralist whose specific focus is on the procedure. Deep sedation and general anesthesia for dental procedures is safest when provided by a qualified, licensed anesthesia professional, who is not simultaneously engaged in the dental procedure. When sedation or anesthesia services are required, the use of anesthesia professionals, with delineated responsibilities, allows each team member to focus on his or her role for best outcomes and patient safety.
Through a holistic, patient-centered approach, CRNAs advocate for patient safety throughout every procedure, including dental sedation and anesthesia. CRNAs are experts in sedation and anesthesia delivery, pain management, advanced airway management, shared airway, hemodynamic and physiologic monitoring, and emergency management. CRNAs promote all aspects of office-based practice safety.
