Greetings!

Is there a patient in that chair looking back at you, or is that chair empty more often than you care to admit?  Did you turn away that patient who couldn't get numb, panics in the chair, has an allergy to local anesthesia, complains of a "racing heart," or had  too many health issues?  Problem Patients can be turned into Profitable Patients.

You can't afford to turn away ANY patient in this economy. Studies have shown that fully 40% of U.S. adults avoid visiting the dentist due to fear and anxiety. By offering the complete range of anesthesia services you could potentially DOUBLE your patient pool. I have successfully treated thousands of patients and increased the profitability of hundreds of dentists; this could be you, by simply offering my minimally invasive anesthesia care services. We supply free educational material for your office. Just give us a call at 949-362-9690.

Is Oral Sedation Really "Sleep Dentistry"?
 
The use of  oral sedatives for treating anxious patients has become wildly popular in recent years and for good reason. Millions of dollars are spent in advertising their efficacy.  Dentists pay thousands of dollars for courses in oral sedation.  This technique, although a valuable tool, only works for some dentalphobics.  While many thousands of mildly nervous patients have been treated successfully with this method, serious problems arise when patients' expectations of being "asleep" during the entire procedure are not met. 

"Because there is such a wide variability in how rapidly or how slowly patients absorb drugs by the oral route, the ADA believes there is increasing potential for sedating patients to a level that is deeper than the dentist intended."- Joel Weaver, dentist and ADA spokesperson

If you have patients that need to go to the next level of anesthesia, adding my services to your practice could be "just what the doctor ordered".

Your patients deserve the hospital standard of care in anesthesia.

Is "BIS" BS?
logo Whistles and Machines That Go "Beep"
Some anesthesia providers, with more equipment than experience, claim that a BIS monitor is the latest technology for in-office anesthesia monitoring.  Unfortunately, it is only useful for training the inexperienced anesthesia resident. See "BIS et al: Whistles and Machines That Go Beep".
