Oral Sedation the IV Sedation “Back-up” for Fearful Patients—Report Naperville Patient

     The staff & I just finished our review of the meetings we attended at the 2009 Chicago Midwinter Dental Society meeting.  One topic I heard discussed was the relative effectiveness between oral and IV sedation for fearful dental patients.  The lecturer discussed to length different oral sedation protocols he recommended and uses for each.  His conclusion though was that although many of these protocols work well, they al still somewhat unpredictable.  For example, this last week I had a fearful patient from Naperville in who wanted oral sedation—he had heard it worked wonderfully.  In many case oral sedation does work very adequately, but this women had the recommended maximum dose, and not feeling hardly sedated at all!  We quickly started an IV for IV sedation, and quickly had her comfortable.
    Although we treat many patients successfully with oral sedation, this woman was another example of someone who thought she could be treated adequately with oral sedation, but not comfortable without the IV sedation route.  The lecturers also recounted several similar examples of this situation.

I do agree on the relative effectiveness of oral and IV sedation. These can definitely help fearful patients and for those who just want to be relaxed during dental procedures. I was just wondering though, if there is an overdose from the oral and IV sedation you gave your patient? I believe that the after effect needs her to have a company since she will feel groggy. I'd also like to find out if oral and IV sedation that is both taken in the system is still safe for the patient?

Dental implants are a complex, but important aspect of dental treatment. A cosmetic dentist, or implant dentist, who practices implant dentistry must be well educated, and also keep up to date with latest materials, techniques and courses. As of my recent visit to At Bondi Beach Dental, their dentist, Dr. Haddon Suttner, is committed to being an up to date, technologically savvy cosmetic and implant Sydney dentist. They will update this page shortly but until then please call their doctor with any questions or you can visit them at
