Dr. Aunon knows that the more relaxed a patient is during their dental
visit, the more comfortable and successful their dental experience will be.
Until recently, doctors have been able to do little to relax patients who
suffer anxiety at just the thought of a visit to the dentist.
Intravenous sedation is the answer for many patients. Dr. Aunon is trained
in conscious IV sedation and administers relaxant drugs intravenously to the
patient, using specific protocols. Dr. Aunon monitors the patient's blood
pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and respiratory rates continuously to
ensure that the patient is completely comfortable and reacting normally
throughout the procedure.
While sedated, patients are able to respond to verbal commands but they are
so relaxed that they do not experience any pain, discomfort or anxiety. In
fact, patients usually report not remembering much of the procedure and
actually believe they were asleep throughout their appointment.
