We can ease your anxiety about surgery.
At Tri-State, we have the ability to administer multiple forms of anesthesia. If you are having oral surgery in Cincinnati, Ohio, Northern Kentucky, or Southwest Indiana, you want to work with board-certified surgeons you can trust.
Every patient is different and we can tailor your experience to your anxiety level. Most patients have their surgery completed under IV sedation combined with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). We will use your past experiences as a guide and will discuss with you what we think might work best for your case. Additionally, while you are asleep we will administer local anesthesia so that you will wake up virtually pain-free and remember little to nothing about your surgery.
What are Drs. Pagnotto and Rechtin qualifications?
AAs Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, our Doctors are certified to administer IV sedation and general anesthesia. This privilege is only granted to Anesthesiologists and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons by their training. Specifically, five months of their training was dedicated to general anesthesia at University Hospital and Children's Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. Two months were dedicated solely to treating children. This is unique to the training at the University of Cincinnati Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department. What this means is that Drs. Pagnotto and Rechtin are trained to provide the safest, most comfortable level of anesthesia currently available.
Drs. Pagnotto and Rechtin are trained in Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support.
