Dental Anesthesia

Dental sedation safe outcomes, as with all procedural sedation, are best achieved when provided by a healthcare professional, whose only responsibility is the sedation and monitoring of the patient, and a proceduralist whose specific focus is on the procedure.

Deep sedation and general anesthesia for dental procedures are 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.
