Removal of Pediatric Dentition
Pediatric oral surgery is a facet of the field that requires compassion, patience and overall extreme attentiveness. Pediatric patients have very short attention spans and bring a level of anxiety in an already tense environment. The situation of commencing oral surgery for am pediatric patient is very delicate. What meds are appropriate for sedation ?, how is this patient going to respond under anesthesia?, and what will be the post-operative outcome?
Southern Georgia Oral Surgery has implemented an approach to dealing with the anxiety of pediatric patients, by using verbal, oral and IV medications. The combination of verbal distraction and medications appears to be very effective. The patients respond to calm and soothing speech, which induces a level of serenity. The oral sedative assists in helping the patient stay calm and not reactive to an unfamiliar situation. IV medications allow a level of unconsciousness that promotes amnesia and analgesia. As a result, the pediatric patients appear to have a more comfortable dental surgery experience.
