Dental Professionals In Portland Serves Hundreds Of Patients Locally

By Jeanie Habib


State-of-the-art dental work has improved in every way. Specialized services, innovative tools, and cutting edge techniques yield superior results in less time. Dental health is imperative for whole body health. Neglecting this important aspect of your health due to fear is no longer a viable excuse with Portland sedation dentistry in the picture.

Sleep-assisted dental procedures are safe. Many local Portland patients use this option to allow the professionals to provide comprehensive dental care in fewer visits.

Dental phobia is common in all age groups. The sights, sounds and smells of dental offices can create fear in otherwise brave souls. Along with the technical improvements in dental procedures, it is now possible to manage client fear with sedative options for relaxation in the dental chair. Sedated patients need a friend or family member to do the driving.

The levels of relaxation range from light to deep. All sedated patients are watched with digital surgical monitors that track vital signs. Sedation dentistry meets regulatory license requirements to provide these services. No sedated patient is ever left alone.

Nitrous Oxide and oxygen are calibrated and delivered via mask for light, Class I tranquility. This application is safely monitored and controlled. Patients are at a normal state of awareness immediately with resumption of normal respiration once nitrous oxide is concluded.

Benzodiazepines is a drug class, taken orally, that produces a state of relaxation and drowsiness. This Class II sedative is for moderate anxiety relief and provides effective post-procedure pain control. Patients do not remember the dental procedures.

Patients that are under deep conscious, Class III relaxation, do not have the ability to respond verbally or physically to commands. Patient airways are not compromised during this level of sedative.

Portland sedation dentistry meets the regulatory standards of advanced study with certification, license and permit to practice IV general anesthesia. This is a Class IV level of deep unawareness, not fully unconscious, but incapable of remembering the procedure. IV induced relaxation is easily monitored for precision-control when safely administered by qualified dental professionals.
