Can Dental Work Be Done Under Sedation If Suffering From Acid Reflux?

OK I am anticipating having some dental work done. My dentist is suggesting sedation dentistry. His office uses a Dr. Atlas to administer the medication. I am trying to find out about this Dr. to put my mind at ease. I am not comfortable with being put out due to the fact that I have acid reflux and have not laid flat in years. I need to know that he and my dentist will take me seriously about not being put all the way down in the chair due to that problem. How can I find out about Dr. Atlas and do I need to worry about this?

Thanks for using health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The dental work is using done on local anesthesia ,it is not clear why the dentist is using general anesthesia ,since the treatment plan of the dentist is not elaborated here.

Acid re-flux is usually overlooked,so it is absolutely necessary for you to keep the dentist and the anesthetist updated and treatment you are taking for reflux.It will help in avoiding any complications during and after the procedure.
Preventive measures can be taken .

Hope this was useful and you have a successful procedure .

Thanks and regards.
