What our customers are saying!

This course has taught me a skill and technique that wasn’t previously part of my patient care armamentarium. I utilize oral and nitrous sedation with success but have often found it challenging and difficult to implement smoothly into my practice. I think the biggest take-away for me is the understanding of how valuable procedural sedation is for augmenting treatment. As I have gone through this course, I have often reflected on cases where the sedation I used could have been employed to better effect, or for those patients I struggled to treat because I needed sedation on my side. I used to believe sedation was only for the extremely fearful patient- I have a few of those, but what about the ones who are mild/moderately fearful, or the medically compromised, or for muscle control, or long procedures, or undesirable procedures… When I started this course, I assumed I would only use IV sedation for big surgical procedures with osteotomes, mainly because I rarely use oral sedation, and that is where I typically use it. Transforming that thought process to consider using for patients who need a full upper arch of operative/crown and bridge- or even just a few fillings or a few crowns- why not? If I can help make my patient’s life more comfortable, and my life easier, why not use it for the simplest of all procedures? My biggest take away, is that I have been thinking about the asset of procedural sedation all wrong. It is just that, an asset to be used thoughtfully but to positive effect to help everyone. My perspective has changed entirely, and I can’t wait to start implementing it into my practice.

Jared W. DDS

Completing dental school in 2014, IV sedation was brought up in passing during my four years at NYUCD, just like dealing with the sinus. Ultimately, the suggestion was that both should be avoided. Nearing the end of this course, I discovered that IV sedation when applied properly can help those patients that I knew I could not help in years past. Just six months ago, patients with periodic epileptic events would make me very nervous. Learning that benzodiazepines and Versed in particular can not just stop an occurring seizure, but prevent one in the first place.

Through out this course, I confirmed that continuing education and our ability to access and filter information is key in staying ahead of the game which ultimately will help grow our practice and better serve our patients. When I graduated in 2014, I felt as if I was bursting with knowledge and just needed to gain experience. Dentistry in my life evolved into a true passion over the years. I find that my biggest take away from this course is the constant need for learning which in turn will help to better our craft and to more comfortably/safely treat our patients with everything we learned here in this course and many more to come in the future.

“This has been one of the best things I have ever done to improve my practice, We have been doing 2 – 3 sedation cases a day. My only regret is not doing it as soon as I finished dental school. Thank you for providing this service to dentists.”
