IV Sedation VS. Oral Sedation : The real story I had a patient in yesterday who had asked for IV sedation for her dental appointment.

Dr. Bill and his wife Becky just got back from a Biking Trip in the Canadian Rockies.  They started in Banff and ended in Jasper riding over 200 miles over 5 days.  Dr. Bill says biking is a great way to see the rugged beautiful mountains although meeting up with a black wolf or black bear is a little intimidating on a bike.  To prepare for the trip there were a lot of Spinning classes involved as well as some cold weather biking gear shopping.  Columbus was 90+ degrees while the Canadian Rockies had highs of mid 60s.   I’m sure … Continue reading →
