A Case for Oral Sedations, with Dr. Sarat "Bobby" Thikkurissy

Dr. Bobby is a pediatric dentist, speaker, and authority on oral sedations. After 8 years as a pediatric dentist in the air force, he transitioned to an academic roll at Ohio State and now Cincinnati Children's Hospital. He frequently lectures for the AAPD at their sedation courses. Dr. Bobby cracks a beer with me and we talk about some great topics, including life in academics, changing parent expectations that make our job difficult, and how he uses oral conscious sedation to manage those kids that fall in between the spectrum of full mouth rehab and minimally invasive dentistry.
