ALL of Bay Anesthesia Group’s providers are Board-Certified Diplomates of the American Dental Board of Anesthesiology. This certification represents the highest level of training and expertise that can be achieved in the field of anesthesiology for dentistry.
We often associate the dental office with pain and fear. Although most dentists do everything they can to improve our dental experience, sometimes it just isn’t enough. Every patient is unique. Bay Anesthesia Group’s highly trained dentist anesthesiologists are here to help. They provide a safe and relaxing way to get you the healthy smile you have always wanted.
Anesthesia services may benefit patients who may experience the following:
Fear, anxiety, or unease regarding dental treatment
Sensitive gag reflex
Low pain thresholds
Previous failed attempts at local anesthesia
Complex medical histories
Advanced age or cognitive impairment
Physical or mental impairments or handicaps
Basic desire to be relaxed for dental treatment
With many adults, we may require a recent physical exam by a primary care physician and possibly EKG and labs. This will ensure that we have a complete picture of your current health status in order to develop the most ideal anesthetic treatment plan for you.
Board-Certified Dentist Anesthesiologists represent the highest level of training, experience, knowledge and skill that can be achieved in anesthesiology for dentistry.
In order to achieve board certification status, dentist anesthesiologists must successfully complete a CODA accredited residency program, a comprehensive written examination, a minimum of twelve months clinical practice, and an oral board examination. Additionally, diplomates must recertify every six years by completing a Maintenance of Certification Program and 96 hours of continuing education specifically in the field of anesthesiology.
Board certification awarded by the American Dental Board of Anesthesiology (ADBA) is the highest anesthesia credential achievable in dentistry as recognized by the National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards (NCRDSCB), the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) and the American Dental Association (ADA).
