MEDICAL EVALUATION AND CLEARANCE
Thorough Pre-Anesthesia Assessment and Medical Optimization for Dental Office Anesthesia and Sedation
Medical evaluation and clearance
Patient safety, comfort, and peace of mind are the core of our dental sedation services. Because every individual is unique, a thorough medical evaluation and clearance is an integral part of our process to ensure a safe and seamless anesthesia experience for the patient.
What to Expect Before the Procedure:
-
Pre-Procedure Assessment: We contact the patient prior to their treatment to review their health history and confirm that they meet all clinical criteria for office-based dental sedation and anesthesia.
-
Care Coordination: The patient's overall health is our top priority. When necessary, we coordinate directly with the patient's primary care physician to optimize any underlying medical conditions prior to the procedure.
-
Clear Fasting & Medication Guidelines: We take the guesswork out of preparation. We review specific fasting (NPO) guidelines with the patient and provide clear instructions on which daily medications to take or avoid before and after the visit.
By taking these comprehensive precautions, we ensure the highest standard of safety, allowing the patient to relax and feel completely confident in our care.
