I’m excited to add yet another set of skills to my dental practice. This month I begin my training to provide IV sedation. The course will take place over the next several months and is known to be among the most comprehensive in North America.
I’m also excited as Daria occasionally seems this close to needing an IV and if needed I will be able to help her in a pinch.
Also sleep related I’ve started working closely with the local sleep lab to help treat my obstructive sleep apnea patients. I’m thrilled with my new assistant as well and enjoying working with someone who is pleasant, organized and shows up everyday to work.
I’m very grateful for the opportunities I’ve had here in Lethbridge and the training I’m getting from Dr. Bryan Murray —a true friend, colleague and relative.

Ah Nate, that is so awesome. What an exciting time in your life and so many wonderful opportunities coming your way! Lucky us…we have you in our family. :>)
Hey Bro,
Glad to hear that work is going so good. That whole IV sedation thing sounds pretty interesting. Why does it take several months to complete the course? Is it held locally or do you have to travel for it?
Wow, putting people to sleep. Sounds scary!
Its wonderful seeing you so happy, Nathan. And broadening you skills set so rapidly- I am in awe!
Yeah - Now I’m the sleep dentist in several ways
Conor - They spread it out over 3 sessions. One because it is a lot of material to absorb and digest and two very few dentists would actually stop working for the total time of the course. Almost one month.
