Seminole, FL Dr. Esha Persad Expands Dental Care with IV Sedation Certification in Florida

SEMINOLE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / February 12, 2025 /For many, visiting the dentist can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. From childhood traumas to health-related concerns, dental anxiety affects millions worldwide. Recognizing this critical barrier to dental care, Dr. Esha Persad-an accomplished dentist with a profound commitment to compassionate care-has recently achieved certification in IV Sedation Dentistry in Florida. This new milestone allows Dr. Persad to offer an advanced level of support to patients who need it the most, solidifying her position as a pioneer in comfort-focused dental care.

A New Era of Comfort in Dentistry

IV sedation, often called "twilight sedation," is a safe and effective technique that places patients in a deeply relaxed state during dental procedures. Unlike general anesthesia, patients remain conscious but experience minimal awareness of the procedure, effectively eliminating fear and discomfort. This approach is highly beneficial for individuals with severe anxiety, special needs, PTSD, or medical conditions such as Alzheimer 's or dementia.

By integrating IV sedation into her practice, Dr. Esha Persad is breaking down barriers that prevent patients from seeking essential dental care. Patients who previously avoided treatment due to fear or past trauma now have an accessible and comfortable option to restore their oral health with confidence.

Meeting the Unique Needs of Every Patient

Dr. Persad 's IV sedation certification is not just a professional accomplishment-it 's a reflection of her patient-first ethos. She has long recognized that dentistry extends beyond physical care; it 's about addressing emotional, psychological, and individual needs.

For patients with conditions like PTSD or Alzheimer 's, dental visits can be especially challenging, leading to skipped appointments and deteriorating oral health. Similarly, those with phobias tied to past negative experiences often struggle to sit through routine procedures. IV sedation provides a game-changing tool, ensuring these individuals can access the care they need without undue stress or discomfort.

Dr. Esha Persad 's empathetic approach ensures that every patient feels understood and cared for. By combining technical expertise with compassion, she creates a safe space where patients feel empowered to reclaim their oral health.

A Dentist with a Mission

Dr. Persad 's path to becoming an IV sedation-trained dentist is a testament to her dedication to reshaping patient care. Her dental career has been fueled by a personal mission rooted in both professional expertise and personal experience. Inspired by her childhood dental challenges, she has long empathized with those who struggle to feel comfortable in the dental chair.

Dr. Persad began her educational journey at Oxford Dental College in India, where she earned her Bachelor of Dental Science degree. She continued this pursuit by obtaining her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Colorado, combining the best of Eastern and Western approaches to dental care. Over the years, she has honed her skills through diverse experiences in clinical settings across India, South Carolina, and Florida, including her current role at Monticciolo Family and Sedation Dentistry.

Transformative Benefits of IV Sedation

One of the standout benefits of IV sedation is its adaptive nature. Administered intravenously, the sedation levels can be adjusted in real time based on the patient 's unique needs-ensuring maximum comfort throughout the procedure. Many IV sedation patients report feeling as though the entire process only lasted minutes, even during lengthier treatments.

This makes IV sedation particularly valuable for more complex cases or multiple treatments performed in a single visit. Procedures such as root canals, tooth extractions, or full-mouth restorations, which might seem daunting for a nervous patient, become manageable milestones on their way to a healthy smile.

Additionally, IV sedation helps eliminate the muscle tension and restlessness that some patients feel in dental chairs. It promotes smoother procedures by allowing the dentist to work efficiently and precisely without interruptions, ultimately improving outcomes.

Dentistry Backed by Advanced Techniques

Dr. Persad 's ability to offer IV sedation is only one element of her broader expertise. Equipped with modern technology such as digital intra-oral photos, she ensures that patients receive personalized and highly accurate treatment plans. Tools like these complement the IV sedation process, as they speed up procedures and minimize discomfort.

Additionally, Dr. Persad emphasizes preventative and restorative care that targets both immediate concerns and long-term wellness. From periodontal therapies to advanced restorative techniques, her patients benefit from a comprehensive approach designed to optimize oral health at every stage of life.

Fostering Trust Through Community Impact

Beyond her technical skills, Dr. Persad is passionate about giving back to the community. She has dedicated countless hours to outreach programs delivering free dental services to underserved populations, embodying the belief that oral health is essential to overall wellness. Her efforts in community education and outreach have raised awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy smile and combating dental fears.

Her patient-centered philosophy has also shaped the culture at Monticciolo Family and Sedation Dentistry, where she has introduced operational strategies to enhance patient experiences. Through her leadership, the practice has significantly reduced patient wait times while fostering an environment of trust and accessibility.

The Path Forward

Dr. Esha Persad 's certification in IV sedation marks a pivotal step forward in modernizing dental care. By prioritizing compassion alongside clinical excellence, she has redefined what is possible in a dentist 's office. Her work helps patients reconnect with their smiles while addressing physical and emotional challenges that may have seemed insurmountable before.

For those who have long avoided dental care, IV sedation offers a path forward-one filled with comfort, safety, and support. Whether it 's a patient with special needs, an older adult managing dementia, or someone overcoming trauma, Dr. Persad is ready to provide care tailored to every individual.
