10 crucial skills for communicating with a sedated patient
Dental Procedure specificity[14,16,17,23,39] has a profound effect on the demand of any pharmacologic protocol. The amount of time in our dental chair must be compatible with the drug duration. In addition, the drug choice must match the degree of invasiveness of the dental procedure. Patients requiring longer appointments achieve optimal care.
Patient variability[6] is an important risk factor we must consider when choosing an oral sedation protocol. Individual variables such as age, weight, anxiety level and underlying disease states can alter a drug's effectiveness.
Drug characteristics[7] must be carefully considered when choosing the appropriate medication. Matching factors, such as where the drug is metabolized with any underlying disease state, requires a good medical history and thorough knowledge of the drug's characteristics.

All risk factors, patient individuality and procedures planned are taken into account before arriving at the best choice for a drug.

“I brought with me some of the team including 2 hygienists and our assistant mgr – all who have been with the practice before I became partner and who are extremely reluctant to new things. I sat at lunch today listening with amazement to have them tell me things we need to do in order to implement this into our practice! Your enthusiasm is infectious and I will be sending the rest of the team to this course!” -Karen Harriman, DDS
