For more than 20 years, we’ve been teaching an IV Moderate Sedation Course in conjunction with the UCLA School of Dentistry. Our patient’s participation allows us to continue to offer the course.
In return for your participation, you will be given an exam and limited x-rays for a minimal fee. Additionally, we are able to offer complimentary IV sedation and favorable discounts on treatment for pa…rticipating. Your insurance, where applicable, will be billed accordingly.
During the course, a participating dentist administers medications intravenously, while our doctors and hygienists perform the treatment. The participating doctor is under the direct supervision of the course instructors and an IV certified doctor on our staff.
IV sedation is a service that is performed daily at Wendel Family Dental Centre, and remains a favored option for patients not only receiving surgery, but also for those who experience great anxiety in the dental chair.
Candidates for IV sedation need to be 16 years of age and older, with a clear and approved medical history. Our IV Course will be May 15th -19th so we start screening patient’s for this opportunity from February through April. If you are interested in learning more or would like to schedule a screening appointment, please contact our Scheduling Coordinator Debbie at (360)944-3117 or (360)944-3124.
