Millions of people all over the world experience dental anxiety, or worse, dental fear. Here at Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates we have partnered with some of the top rated dentists in the New Hampshire area. We offer a solution to manage your fear and anxiety, and provide you with the best dental and sedation care available. Simply put, sedation dentistry is a way to minimize and/or eliminate the pain and distress associated with some dental care.
You can expect…
- Excellent and affordable sedation for adult, pediatric, and special needs individuals
- IV sedation that is tailored individually to your specific needs
- A highly trained nurse anesthesiologist who will be monitoring every breath and heartbeat during your procedure
- State-of-the-art equipment that brings hospital-quality sedation to the office
- Medications that will help prevent pain, nausea, anxiety, and remembering your procedure
- A follow-up call later that day about the care you experienced from your nurse anesthesiologist
Our expectations are high and yours should be too when choosing to have sedation for your dental procedure. You deserve to have individual attention and an experienced nurse anesthesiologist providing your sedation whose only concern is monitoring you.
At Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates, we tailor your sedation plan to the individual’s needs because we believe managing your dental fear and anxiety is as important as the dental care you’re receiving.
What They’re Saying
Patient Feedback
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our son. We very rarely find people so understanding and caring towards him. We have had lots of poor experiences and it causes a lot of anxiety for us. We truly couldn’t be more appreciative of how you treated him or us. Thank you.”

“My daughter is autistic and the dentist has always been a particular problem for her. When we both heard the commercial for JD Howard on her favorite radio station a few times she asked if she could try the “sleep dentist”. She knows her teeth hurt but just could not go to the dentist. We had an amazing first visit and this past Friday she had all of her dental problems fixed in 1 visit using their “sleep” approach. The nurse anesthetist was caring and compassionate to her and quickly had her asleep before she could work herself up into a panic. He let her know what was happening step by step and worked fast to calm her down. The dental team did a great job tackling all her dental issues with speed, accuracy and compassion. When she woke up, she was greeted with happy, kind faces. When we got home and she had rested some more she was pleased with herself for doing it and said, ” I really did it, mom!” and ” I think I like my dentist!” and ” I like that place!” That’s all I need to hear to know we have found a place that can truly understand the difficulties anyone can have going to a dentist.”

As an RN in a busy surgical practice, I’ve had experience with children undergoing procedures and receiving anesthesia. As a parent, I was nervous about my son receiving sedation and having dental work done. The surgeons I work with had wonderful things to say about Dwayne and he definitely lived up to his reputation. Dwayne is easy going and professional. As a parent he understands how scary this experience could have been. He was reassuring and clear about expectations. Dwayne provided us with a phone number to call anytime, even later into the evening, and he returned my calls promptly. He was also wonderful with my four year old. He’s calming, personable, and skilled at what he does. Dwayne and Dr Wilson made a nerve-wracking experience into a very positive one.
Thanks again,Amy
“What a breath of fresh air to have someone in the healthcare industry actually care about you and the service you are getting. Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates treated my 3 year old son, all the while inviting questions from us and answering all of them in detail. I will definitely be requesting their service again!!”

“We had a great experience with Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates and with Dwayne. He was very professional and was open and welcoming with any questions and concerns that we had. The whole process from the initial phone call with Dwayne to the actual procedure and post-op was extremely smooth and professional. It was a great experience! Thank you.”
Cristin
“I wanted to thank you for the excellent care I received today from you, and the staff at the dental office. I would recommend your company to anyone needing sedation at Eastern Slope Dental. It was a smooth transition, and I feel pretty good. Thanks again!!”

I recently had a dental procedure and Dwayne was my anesthesiologist. I honestly can’t say enough positive things about him…. He was kind, compassionate, attentive and truly an expert in his field. He was always available for questions or concerns. Dental work has always made me fearful and nervous. But Dwayne’s calm confident demeanor allayed my fears and put me at ease.
I am having another dental procedure in May and Dwayne will once again be my anesthesiologist for which I am beyond grateful.

Thank you so much for easing my dental appointment phobias. Dr. Boone recommended you and informed me that you were easy to work with and an all-around great person; he couldn’t say enough nice things about you and they all turned out to be true! Within a very short time after confirming my appointment (which took me two years to work up the nerve to even make), I was contacted and provided what I felt to be very personalized, care-oriented service. You put me at ease pre-procedure, answered all my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully, and explained exactly what I was to expect out of my appointment with you. I really appreciate that you didn’t make me feel at all like I was an out-of-the-ordinary (read – big baby!) patient. From pre-procedure to post-procedure you answered my questions and helped me through a difficult (for me) dental visit. You are knowledgeable and caring, and I felt like I was your only patient and sole focus whenever I spoke with you. And most importantly – I didn’t feel a thing!! THANK YOU!
Most Sincerely,
Bridgid
Great job. A huge shout out to Dr. Sean Drower. He was able to put together a great team with Blue Sky Anesthesiology to help my daughter who has anxiety about dental work. I haven’t room here to express all my appreciation. Just a big thank you to the Drower team and Blue Sky

I had a very good experience with the procedure. Had no difficulties at all. Everything was explained to me very carefully. I would definitely recommend you to anyone.
Thank you,Denis Dube
