What is PO Conscious
Sedation?
Conscious sedation is an anesthetic
technique that utilizes oral medications and
nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to create a
state of relaxation and diminished
awareness. This technique is advantageous
for patients that have mild anxiety and
fear, and may be used for children and
adults depending upon the behavior of the
child and level of anxiety of the adult
patient.
What is IV Conscious Sedation?
Intravenous sedation is a technique that
utilizes intravenous agents to help relax a
patient that is anxious. This is a good
technique for patients that have mild to
moderate anxiety or fear of dental
procedures. Patients treated with
intravenous sedation usually have little to
no memory of the dental procedure being
performed. Intravenous Sedation is commonly
done along with wisdom tooth surgery.
What is General Anesthesia?
General Anesthesia is an anesthetic
management technique, which uses intravenous
and inhalation agents to render a patient
completely unconscious (asleep) for the
surgical procedure. This is an excellent
technique for anxious and fearful patients,
as they are entirely unaware of the surgical
experience. It is our goal to remove pain
and anxiety from the oral surgery
experience. Our commitment to each patient's
safety and comfort is made possible by the
utilization of state-of-the-art anesthetic
techniques and highly trained staff.
