Derren Tippets: When someone comes in for a conscious sedation visit ... very, very
important.
No food, no water for eight hours before.
That's very, very important.
Once they get in here, then we'll go ahead and do a pre-exam.
We'll just make sure that they're good to go for a conscious sedation.
No heath history changes, no problems, or anything like that.
But once we've deemed that they are appropriate to go ahead and sedate, we'll give them some
juice with some medicine in it.
They'll hang out with Mom or Dad or who's ever here with them for the next, at least,
30 minutes.
It may even take longer, as well.
Then we go ahead and take child back.
We'll let him and go ahead and watch some TV.
We'll use some nitrous oxide, as well, at that time.
And then after a little bit, usually that kid goes ahead and takes a nap.
Then we can go ahead and inject local anesthetic, and we're able to prepare all the teeth for
the cavities that need to be done.
We're able to do all those things while they're asleep.
As it comes to the general anesthesia visits ... Number one.
No food, no water for eight hours before.
When they're here, the anesthesiologist will take at a look at them and make sure that
everything is good to go.
We will also take a look at them, as well.
We'll review the treatment plan with parents.
And then, once we're all good to go, we'll help them fall asleep.
Once he's asleep, we can take care of all that not-so-fun dentistry stuff, and they
don't even know that it happened.
Really a great option for a lot of those kids.
