     Dr. Shvartsman has had extensive training performing dentistry under sedation and general anesthesia. He spent four years at the prestigious NSUH-LIJ Department of Dentistry where he served as Chief Dental Resident and treated many patients in the OR setting.
     Some dentist's idea of sedation dentistry is a pill cocktail. Patients are given a handful of Valium like drugs and sleeping pills. This approach is taught during a weekend course all over the country and is heavily marketed to dentists.  The trouble with this approach is that it is not only dangerous, but the same doctor performing the dentistry is responsible for your life. Physicians do not do this, they work side by side with Anesthesiologists for the safety of their patients.   Splitting the doctor's focus between performing intricate dental procedures and maintaining the patients sedation and life has proven to be fatal on several occasions in the past decade. This is the reason Dr. Shvartsman focuses on providing your dental care while our anesthesiologist focuses on your safety and relaxation.

Sedation is a relaxed and comfortable state that results from the use of intravenous anesthesia.  A combination of anesthetics first relaxes you, then produces profound amnesia and pain control.  You'll feel, remember and worry about little or nothing.  Patients remain responsive to the doctor's directions, enabling the treating dentist to efficiently complete the planned treatment.
General Anesthesia is a controlled state of unconsciousness that results from the use of intravenous and/or inhalation anesthetics.  Similar to sedation, patients are quickly relaxes and then provided full sleep.  Patients breath on their own and reawaken soon after their dental treatment is done, with no memory of the procedure and having felt zero pain.
The level of anesthesia will be determined between you, the dentist ad the anesthesiologist. Your comfort and safety are our priority.
