| Oral, Pediatric & IV Sedation |
 |
The Ohio State Dental Board
requires a dentist to complete a 60-hour I.V. sedation course,
administer 20 clinical patient cases,
and obtain a permit before providing
oral or IV conscious sedation to dental
patients.*
This training is now
available in Pittsburgh |
|
*The Ohio State Dental Board
does not currently require formal
training before providing single-
dose oral conscious sedation to
adult dental patients, but the ADA
guidelines recommend 16 hours training for minimal
sedation.
This training is available
in DC.

| Why Do Oral Sedation? |
|
An estimated 6 Million people in Ohio are currently in need of dental care but are too fearful to seek you out. To date, access to care for these patients has been limited. Now you can help.
|
|
Practicing oral sedation has many advantages for you, not the least of which is treating a more comfortable patient. Other advantages are: performing more dentistry in a single visit instead of having the patient come back again and again; bigger restorative cases from patients who were previously reluctant due to anxiety; and patients feeling little to no post-operative discomfort regardless of the procedure - resulting in more referrals.
And for your patients it means something else. A comfortable experience - often with no recollection of the visit or the time passed. I often hear of patients who call their dentist the next day not to complain, but to express their gratitude and delight in their first ever visit to the dentist without fear.
