He also completed an advanced residency in 2017, acquiring more advanced oral surgery and IV sedation skills. Today, he continues to focus his further training on these advanced areas so that he can offer patients and families with the highest quality of care possible.
Dr. Ragsdale is from McKinney, TX and he speaks three different languages. His wife, Jessica, and five children all enjoy the outdoors. He loves spending his free time embarking on adventures with his little kids, such as swimming, cooking, hiking, biking, fishing, and simply exploring the world.
Intravenous sedation, also known as “twilight sleep” or conscious sedation, will put you in a safe, relaxed, and comfortable state throughout your surgery. It is the most effective means of reducing awareness and anxiety for dental procedures. It is administered through an intravenous line (IV), and is therefore much more predictable in terms of effectiveness due to the quick onset of action. IV sedation is for the patient who wants to be “the most” comfortable during a dental appointment and it is certainly the best option when having oral surgery procedures.
