Sedation and Anesthesia for the Dental Office
MICHAEL LAM, M.D.
Board Certi ed Physician Anesthesiologist
MAXIMIZE SAFETY FOR YOUR PATIENTS.
Anesthesia with a secure airway is safer for dental
procedures than any level of sedation delivered with
an “open” or “shared” airway. I always secure and
protect the patient’s airway. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
INCREASE PATIENT COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE
Your patients can expect to feel and know nothing of
the dental treatment while recovering within minutes.
Patients can “go to sleep” in seconds without needles. xxx
OPTIMIZE OPERATING CONDITIONS.
Your patients will be completely still. You can operate
without interruption and focus entirely on dental
treatment. The only limitation is how
long you want to operate. ............
