What makes our office unique is the extensive background our nurses acquire, combined they carry over 50 years of experience!
Nancy and Tiffany take great pride in their nursing care and have a plethora of knowledge on medical conditions and anaesthesia. They do so through continuing education, updating various certifications such as advanced cardiac life support for adults and pediatrics and enrolling in courses through the college of nurses.
They have an exceptional team in which they confide in. Their roles as IV anaesthesia nurses is to review medical histories and ensure that our patients are candidates fit to be treated under sedation. They do preliminary assessments such as vital signs, assess airway and liaise with general practitioners to verify they have the most up to date health history of patients. They are experts in starting IV lines and administer sedatives under the dentist’s guidance. They monitor patients throughout the appointment and ensure their safety.
Once the sedation is complete, they discharge patients whether it’s walking them out with assistance or transporting them by wheelchair to the car. They are compassionate nurses who manage patients’ high levels of dental chair anxiety.
