Is Sleep Dentistry safe?
This is a common question, and the answer is that, yes, it is safe.
Prior to the administration of any form of sedation, Dr. Chow must carefully screen all clients for risk factors that prevent the safe administration of general anesthesia in the office setting. In order to do so, each client must attend a consultation and provide us with a comprehensive past and current medical history (updated at each appointment), including present and past illnesses, hospital admissions, medications and allergies. During the consultation our Registered Nurse will review your medical history and provide you with pre-and postoperative instructions, as well as answer any questions you may have.
• In addition to the consultation, an in-depth physical examination must be carried out by a physician, and the results forwarded to our office for evaluation. Additional medical and/or laboratory testing relevant to the use of sedation may be required.
• Once Dr. Chow has carefully reviewed the necessary medical documentation; he can then make an informed decision regarding suitability for sedation, and you will be contacted with the results of his evaluation.
Dr. Chow is a Board Certified Specialists in Dental Anesthesiology.
Belleville Sleep Dentistry is also inspected regularly by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons to ensure safety standards are maintained or exceeded.
