EXCERPT TAKEN FROM:
BIOLOGIC DENTISTRY
by Javier Morales P., D.D.S.
BIOLOGIC DENISTRY AND IV SEDATION
Before Conscious IV sedation was used in Biological Dentistry,
there was no other choice but to have the patient come into the office as many as 5 or 6 times for treatment.
According to Dr. Hal Huggins, a pioneer researcher of biological dentistry, IV sedation is...[a good] approach for the patient's welfare because...[it will] not interfere with the 7-14-21 day cycle of the immune system (see The Huggins' Protocol on the Frequently asked Questions and Protocol for Mercury Removal page) ...this new approach...[allows] for faster recouperation, excellent detoxification,...and [is] less stressful for the patient.
IV sedation is performed by a licensed anesthesiologist (M.D.).
...we use MIDAZOLAM. the risk is minimal with heart and blood pressure being monitored throughout the procedure. ...[It] can last anywhere from 3-6 hours, depending on the amount of work required; But...to...the patient,...[it will seem like] it has only been an hour or less. The patient does not go under. They can talk, use the restroom, and interact and participate throughout the procedure. Some...patients drive home,...although we recommend the patient bring a friend or spouse with them.
