I've had IV sedation twice before and I felt sooooo relaxed both times. No weird feelings or dizziness. The moment it's in your system, you basically fall asleep you won't remember falling asleep. It seems like you just get the IV and then you wake up lol thats how simple it is.

Had it for an extraction and treatment for a very swollen and painful infection deep under an old root canal, and am so glad for this procedure. It went painlessly, (after the previous day of several hours and 3 tries to freeze the tooth while I was conscious but he could not even get it to freeze properly after 5 very painful injections) I finally consented to sedation, came back the next day and it went smoothly and so fast...just about an hour and I was done, not any memory of pain or even discomfort. I was surprised it was over, and am recovering well at home as I write this.

I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video and explain people's concerns with IV sedation. I was hoping though, that you would address the issue of whether it is a safe procedure? Many anxious patients overthink these things and it would be so helpful to have you explain the safety aspect of this form of sedation.

@ginal.salatinodmdfagd6640 4 ай бұрын

@Rossiegirl IV sedation is very safe and predictable. More so than oral sedation. But just like all aspects of medicine and the human body, there can be various outcomes depending on the patient and doctor. If the doctor uses too much or too little medication for a patient, you can get too light or too deep of sedation, which can result in unfavorable outcomes. That's something I teach and lecture about, and it's typically an 8 hour day of discussing various outcomes and how to troubleshoot the results. So, it's too much information to add to a quick video like this. The trick to having a successful sedation is TITRATION. Which means giving small doses incrementally to a patient until they reach the desired state of sedation. If a doctor gives too much drug too quickly, the patient can become nauseous and even stop breathing. Both of those results can be managed by competent staff and doctors.

IV sedation is DEFINITELY the way to go. I went into more detail with your other question about the gauze, but just know that you can actually practice at home to help decrease your gag reflex. It's not a true reflex, it's a mental response to a physical stimulus. You can use a toothbrush, or other objects in your mouth to mentally overcome this issue (insert bad joke about oral sex....)

I have an extreme phobia of the dentist, and needles are just as bad for me. I haven’t been to the dentist in 2 years because of this. My teeth are pretty healthy but I’m insecure of them because they aren’t perfectly straight, which is also why I’ve been avoiding the dentist. I don’t want to be judged. Since I haven’t been to the dentist in 2 years, I think I have a cavity. I know I need to suck it up and go but I can’t even imagine getting a needle in my mouth. I will have to be sedated but Im scared of the laughing gas, and the IV sedation. Would it be possible to take the oral pill to get sedated and hopefully that will make the injections tolerable?

The most expensive thing on the planet is trust. It can take years to buy and simply a question of seconds to lose. . At the point when you fully trust someone, either you get an individual for life or an exercise forever. There’s no in the middle. Trust lies at the center of love; there can be no true love without trust. I feel so happy that the trust on one another continues developing. One of the greatest and toughest intensity of trust is that it is extremely difficult to build, however exceptionally simpler to obliterate. It resembles circulatory strain. It’s silent, vital to great wellbeing, yet whenever abused it is deadly.

GO IV SEDATION!!! 😌 zzzzzzzzz Seriously, IV sedation is the best way to go for long appointments, those who have dental phobia, very sensitive gag reflexes, etc. I had full-mouth dental implants placed almost 3 years ago in an 8 hour session under IV sedation. As I never had my impacted wisdom teeth removed during my teens or early 20’s, the periodontist removed those too. I *don’t remember a single thing about the procedure.* We need more dentists like you who are willing to HELP people that other dentists would rather not deal with. A very respected local dentist doesn’t even offer nitrous oxide nor oral sedation, let alone IV sedation; neither did his father. I’m guessing part of the reason is the additional training and possibly additional liability insurance he would need to carry. Just wondering if you use the common Versed/Fentanyl/ Zofran (or other antiemetic) cocktail as your IV med? I had the same IV meds for an upper EGD exam a couple years ago. Same deal as the periodontist- *Don’t remember anything about that procedure either.* And both times coming out of the sedation was sooooo peaceful; like floating on a cloud. And I DID NOT feel nor get sick afterwards, nor have a headache, or feel dizzy or woozy, or any other adverse reactions you can think of. So, in closing, GO IV SEDATION!! 😌 Sorry for rambling this long, but if my experience with IV sedation helps even *1* person get their dental work done under IV sedation, then the rambling was worth it. 😌zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thank you so much for your comments! I'm glad that you had such an amazing experience with dental IV sedation and can share that with the world! I want to address your questions: #1 - Less than 5% of the nation's dentists perform IV sedation as I do. One reason for this is because there is additional training that is required after dentists graduate from dental school. The training is very costly, timely, and there are a lot of fears that general dentists have to overcome because of the brainwashing that they experience in dental school. When we are in school the oral surgeons that oversee a lot of our surgical procedures will sometimes tell us how dangerous IV sedation is and that we should save it for oral surgeons. This cycle continues with under-educated general dentists who also try and install fear in the general dentist population from performing sedation. Ironically, IV sedation is much safer and easier to control than oral sedation, but there is a lot of misinformation out there that makes dentists and patients think that oral sedation is safer. It's not. You can't control it, and each pill comes in a specific dose that cannot be effectively titrated. All forms of sedation come with risks, and although you can get into trouble faster with IV sedation, you can also get out of trouble faster because you have a 'life-line' for emergency medications. Another downside getting trained in IV sedation is that our malpractice insurance increases. Typically it increases 3-4 times what it would normally be for a general dentist. #2 - Regarding medications; The typical medications for IV moderate sedation for a general dentist is Midazolam, or Valium, Fentanyl or Demerol, Diphenhydramine (benadryl - another form of an anti-emetic), Toradol (pain manager), Dexamethasone (inflammation and pain reduction), and yes, some doctors may use zofran (anti-emetic). I don't use all of those drugs for every case, and in some cases I only use 1 drug. I use the drugs that are necessary for specific situations. My practice philosophy is, LESS IS MORE. I know that many of the drugs come with side-effects and it's important to use the drugs appropriately. For example, I never use zofran because it's not needed for my sedations because my patients don't get nauseous. The reason for this is because I use less Fentanyl. Fentanyl and other narcotics are the drugs that make patients nauseous during a sedation. If I drug my patients with low doses, slowly, this also reduces the risks of nausea and vomiting. I hope this answers your questions. Again, thank you so much for your comments!

@@raineydayz992 Thank you again for your reply and questions! Let me address the question regarding the training for IV sedation (in a Reader’s Digest version). No, the training is not the same as oral surgeons. Here’s what I mean by that. Dental School is a 4 year accelerated program that requires students to take classroom courses and clinical courses at the same time. It’s a year-round program with little to no breaks at the end of each ‘trimester’. When you graduate you have a choice to go on to private practice, or specialize in various areas of dentistry which include Oral Surgeon, Periodontist, Prosthodontist, Endodontist, Pedodontist, Radiologist, and Dental Anesthesiologist. The years required to graduate from these specialized programs varies depending on the specialty. Oral surgeon programs vary between 4-6 years with the 6 year program giving you the title of 'MD' (Medical Doctor or Doctor of Medicine). Oral surgeon programs usually entail the resident student to work in a training hospital and take hospital rotations throughout the various medical specialties (kind of like on Grey’s Anatomy). Most rotations will vary between 1-4 months of training per specialty. Obviously, the surgeon’s experience in each specialty will vary depending on their programs and the student’s interest in the specialty. For anesthesia, they will usually observe and assist an anesthesiologist during hospital patient’s surgeries. The anesthesia exposure they receive in their residency is primarily focused on General Anesthesia. Keep in mind, general anesthesia is never performed in medicine without the surgeon and anesthesiologist being separate individuals. Only in dentistry do you ever see general anesthesia being performed with the surgeon and anesthesiologist being the same person. That’s something that I’m not a fan of, but I know this is the result of the training and only observing GA instead of Moderate Sedation in the hospital. Also, something to keep in mind, most specialty programs will financially compensate the residents for their additional training in the program (although it’s not much money). This means the students/residents are getting paid to learn (the stipend can be anywhere from $10k-$40k/year and varies). This is not the case when we are undergrad dental students and when general dentists get additional training outside of school. The average dental student in the US is graduating with $300k-$600k of debt (depending on their school) and with an interest rate of 7%. For general dentists who want IV sedation training, the fee is anywhere from $14k-$20k depending on the program, location, time, and travel expenses. (That's about the equivalent of 1 trimester of dental school or less...) There is usually an additional $5k-$10k of equipment set-up costs before you even get started on your first case. And then your malpractice will increase around $6k-$7k before you even get started. Most states require a minimum of 60 hours of training and 20 live-patient experiences during your training. All-in-all you will spend a minimum of 100 hours getting trained to perform IV moderate sedation. And then there’s the fear that you have to overcome when you get back to your private practice. It’s easy to perform sedation when you are being watched by a trained professional, but when you go back to your own practice you usually end of flying solo and that can be very scary for some dentists. The voices in your head can be your worst enemy. It’s not uncommon that when I teach moderate sedation to a class of 10 dentists, at least 3-4 of them will go home and rarely/never perform sedation on their own. The fear will overtake them and paralysis by analysis occurs. This may have been the case with the oral surgeon you spoke of. I think he may have been overwhelmed with the equipment and special care that is required when you perform general anesthesia; I respect his recognition that he may not be qualified to perform it on his own. I also recognize that he may not have been trained in the moderate sedation techniques which allow patients to breathe on their own and require much less intervention to sustain life. The lack of knowledge is a real problem with dental sedation across the board between general dentists and oral surgeons. I also would NEVER recommend a patient come back for 1 extraction per week. That’s absolutely insane and torture to a patient! Obviously, I don’t know the whole story, and I don’t want to speculate or talk ill of someone I don’t know; but it sounds like you made the right choice getting a second opinion. It also kind of sounds like he slipped through the cracks of his training. If you want to hear a crazy story about how someone can sneak through the medical system and have little to no understanding of what they are doing, I recommend you listen to the podcast DR. DEATH. It’s UNREAL!! And hearing your story made me instantly think about that podcast. It’s sad, but true…..I have a great deal of respect for doctors who can recognize their own skills, talents, or lack of ability within their own specialty. Personality flaws are probably the BIGGEST contributor to situations like the DR. DEATH story. That guy had no clue... he still doesn't! The goal is to DO NO HARM. (My Reader’s Digest version turned into a short novel….)

If you have wisdom teeth out and you have the gauze In ur mouth can you gag when the procedure is done

@ginal.salatinodmdfagd6640 4 жыл бұрын

That honestly depends on how relaxed you feel afterwards. The gauze is only used to stop the bleeding. If it's in your mouth but you're not biting on it, it won't stop the bleeding. You have to be biting on it. Sooo.... if you're not bleeding, you don't really need it in your mouth anymore. Also, gagging is not a 'true' reflex, it's a mental reflex. A true physiological gag reflex only occurs further down the throat as a protective measure for the airway. Gagging because of gauze in your mouth is the result of your brain. How do you know this? Because otherwise you would gag every time you put food in your mouth. Soooooo...... you can actually practice and perform mental and physical exercises to overcome this issue. That was a really long answer to your question, but yes, you can gag with the gauze in your mouth afterwards, but if the relaxation drugs are still working, you will have a decreased desire to gag.

I can't say with 100% certainty why the different emotions occur, but I CAN say that the emotions seem to match the patient's personality. If you are a calm and relaxed person, you'll probably be calm or funny with sedation recovery. If you're an anxious personality, you will probably be more likely to cry and be emotional during the recovery. Kids say funny things because they have a tendency to mentally go to a different place when they are sedated. Sometimes that effect is the result of the specific drug that is used. Ketamine for instance, is a dissociative drug and makes kids "go to different places..."

I'm soon going to be scheduled for dental surgery, bone graft then a full Zirconia implant top arch. Now, I have no fear at all of dentists, none. I don't fear Novocaine at all, but yesterday they mentioned IV Sedation and I almost had a panic attack. I can't even watch a stranger get a needle in the arm, let alone me. I rather not have any teeth in my mouth then have IV sedation, and I don't know what I'm going to do if they don't give me an alternative. I have never taken any meds my entire life, none. Only meds I've ever swallowed is a low dose aspirin, that's it. My fear is what if I have an allergy to the meds in that needle? They ask you on the form if you're allergic to meds and then they list 20 meds. Well, never having meds, how would I know? I left it blank because I don't know the answer to that question. I'm just one of those people that don't believe in pills, any pills because of all the side effects. What good is a mouth full of beautiful teeth if my liver or kidneys fail? That's how I look at it. Forget giving me Tylenol, I wouldn't swallow one of those pills, period. My husband was a disabled vet and died from Agent Orange and he was on kidney dialysis, and the doctor at the hospital called me at 10pm one night and told me to stop my husbands Avandia pills, don't let him take anymore of them. Come to find out, they took them off the market, they were causing heart failure. I've gone through 76 healthy years , not as much as a cold, nothing, so now I have this major problem happening and I don't know what to do.

I can understand your hesitation and anxiety. For the most part, you would not have any allergies to new drugs that are introduced into your system. You have to have had repeated exposure to the medications for your immune system to start an allergic reaction. That being said, if you have never been sedated, the likelihood of you having complications with allergies to the IV medications would be extremely low to unlikely.

🚩 What do they actually inject with a syringe into your gum after numbing it by rubbing something into it. Is it an antibiotic? That injection should not be very long and painful and make you swirl in a chair like a caught on a hook warm, but a quick “bite” (my sad experience during a deep cleaning session.) When I had my tooth extracted, that’s exactly how the injection was - a quick bite. 😢

How can I avoid nausea ?Also I have a very sensitive gag reflex and had a panic attack the last attack to have dental xray

@ginal.salatinodmdfagd6640 4 жыл бұрын

If you are referring specifically to dental treatment under the influence of sedation, here are the answers to those questions. Nausea is avoided by using little or no narcotics in conjunction with the sedative medication. Narcotics are typically the cause of nausea and vomiting with sedation. The gag reflex is blunted or lessened as a patient becomes sedated. The gag reflex is not a 'true reflex' because otherwise we would never be able to eat. Patient's who gag are a result of mental and emotional barriers that are triggering patients to react to objects being in their mouth. During sedation, these mental barriers are blunted and we are allowed to help treat patients who frequently gag and struggle during routine care. This is also a great time to accomplish any necessary radiographs. I hope this helps answer your questions.

Sorry this is long but I haven't been to the dentist in a few years because once I became an adult do to my terminal illness my health has really started going down the drain. I am going to be scheduling an appointment once this craziness from covid 19 settle down to the point where I can go.. We finally got my health and immune system somewhat stable but not going back up. Two previous bad experiences I had at previous dentists are the following. 1 A this first dentist that I went to had gloves but no mask on while examining me and since I can't see too well and due to the bright light it took me a while to notice and with my health if you're working on me you better be wearing a mask because of my very weak immune system I can get infections that other people couldn't and I can get ill really easily. Next day I woke up with a fever and had to be on my breathing machine a little bit more throughout the day than usual. The second experience was when we started noticing my health starting to decline a bit more and every now and again I would need my nurse to accompany me throughout the day not 24/7 . And when I went to the dentist a different dental office they wouldn't let my nurse accompany me throughout the whole procedure and I was not okay with that so we left. . Now due to where my health is at I do require my 24/7 nurse to be with me at all time because my health problems can flare up at any given time. And it's especially best that she's with me when I am receiving IV therapy I get IV therapy every day. I'm on a 24/7 feeding pump so she manages that along with my IV machine by making the feeding go in faster and slower as needed I'm on a continuous oxygen monitor so that way if my oxygen does drop she can help Me by getting my oxygen concentrator on me and going . and I am a fall risk so when I walk she is my support. But anyways this probably depends on the particular dental office and the provider but will the hygienist and the dentist allow my nurse to be right by me the entire time during my dental appointment and if I do have to have a procedure done that requires some form of sedation? Because if I need some help she has to be there to help me out. She even needs to help me get up and lay down on the chair because I lost a lot of strength. And if the oxygen monitor slows down on the beeping she has to be able to be right by me to get my oxygen concentrator on me and started. I'm a bit nervous to go because one haven't been in a couple years two it's the first time that I will be going with all these changes such as all the equipment and me needing my nurse / caregiver by me at all times I know that whenever I do have to go under sedation I wouldn't be on my feeding but when it comes to just regular exams and cleanings I would be on my continuous feeding. And another thing since my nurse has to stick me with an IV every time she gives some of my Iv treatments she knows how my veins work the best and the best ways to start one on me. I also have what's called a mediport and that always has an IV in it to give me continuous IV medications. The peripheral IV is just for medications given certain times throughout the day. Again it probably depends on the specific office and provider but since starting an IV on me can be tricky I would much rather have my nurse do it since she knows how to start one on me the best. Whenever I go into the hospital for two weeks worth of treatment the nurses always gives me the option of having them start an IV or my 24/7 nurse and most of the time my full-time nurse knows how to start an IV the best for me specifically I mainly only let her do it.. Due to the surgeries that I had where I required a ventilator and due to the liquid iron I was taking at the time I do know that when I do go I'm going to need a bit of dental work done

Hi I’ve been seeing a dentist who is horrible about understanding pain. He lied to me once saying he would procure a laughing gas to elevate my anxiety when I had made appointment for a crown implant. When I arrived for the appointment he quickly was dismissive and acted like I was asking for too much. His explaintion for not having the gas was simply” it’s bad for pregnant staff members????!!! He was rude about my concerns and went on to do the procedure. It hurt I had a sore neck for a week,and I have avoided much needed work. I don’t want to go through that again. Do you have offices in Maryland or can you please recommend someone. After I saw this video, I realized it wasn’t me it was the jerk doctor who was ignorant about his clients pain.

That's a great question. The sedation medications are specifically designed to treat anxiety AND sedation AND amnesia. That being said, although you are "conscious" most people think that they were actually asleep during the entire procedure because the drugs make you really relaxed, some people even sleep, and at the end of the procedure it produces memory loss of the events. It's honestly a really safe and effective way to treat patients with severe anxiety disorders.

It sounds like your administering dentist did not titrate the medications to the right affect for you. Every patient is different and the responses vary widely between patients and doses. Moderate sedation does not remove your ability to 'feel' things, but you can achieve a level of moderate sedation that causes extremely relaxation, pain relief, and amnesia from the procedure. Unfortunately some anesthesia providers are only comfortable administering specific doses of the medications in which case you may have required more than what your dentist was comfortable administering.

@@AmberDennis001 The best advice I can tell you is that it needs to be a personal choice. Sedation is not required to do surgery on wisdom teeth, but it helps make the experience more enjoyable and the recovery better. Many patients do great with just the nitrous. You need to decide how "tough" you are. I am really wimpy when I have procedures done. I don't think I would be tough enough to have my wisdom teeth removed without sedation. But if you are a tough person who can withstand the dental work with just nitrous, then go ahead and do that. Obviously, hindsight is 20-20, so it's hard to say what would be better for you personally. I wish you luck with the decision, and hope everything turns out great for you!

I treat lots of patients with needle phobias. Nitrous is a great adjunct to give to people like you to help get the IV started.

Then I had to be a pin cushion for other dentists when I was training them. And nitrous really helped cut that edge off from the anxiety.

@ginal.salatinodmdfagd6640 5 жыл бұрын

There are a few needle-free options for sedation but they also come with varying sedative effects. #1 - Nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas) is administered through nasal inhalation. It starts working very fast and stops immediately after turning off and breathing room air. Nitrous oxide does not usually provide anesthesia (memory loss), but can provide a level of anxiety relief and comfort depending on the patient and the patient's response. #2- Oral Medications (Pills such as Valium) Oral medications can be very unpredictable and difficult to control as the doctor. Every person has a different tolerance level and a different response to the medications because the pills only come in specific doses and everyone has a completely different response. Some people will have amnesia with the pills, some people will only feel relaxed, some people may feel nothing. This is why I personally dislike sedative medications administered orally. I have little to no control and I never know how the person will respond to the medication. It also lasts for a very long time and can take a very long time to start working. This is another reason why I dislike oral medications.

Doing sedation on kids is always a scary thing to consider. I would recommend asking more questions to the pediatric dental office about how they plan to perform the sedation. Are they using oral medications? Nitrous? IV? Are they keeping the child in a state of consciousness or are they planning on actually taking the child into general anesthesia? Are they using a separate anesthesiologist for the sedation if they are planning on using GA? I'm much more comfortable with a pediatric office using an anesthesiologist, dental anesthesiologist, or a nurse anesthetist for pediatric sedation for GA cases. I'm never ok with kids going into GA when they don't have separate operators doing the separate procedures (dentistry and general anesthesia). That's just my professional opinion.
