Many children have a fear of the dentist. Others may not be old enough or able to understand and cooperate during a dental procedure. In these cases, we may recommend oral sedation. Below are a list of frequently asked questions about sedation. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us anytime.
As with any medical or dental procedure, there are certain risks, although small, associated with dental sedation. Your child’s safety is our top priority. We will review any and all risks with you in person and answer any questions you may have prior to performing any sedation technique.
That ultimate decision will be yours, as a parent. Our pediatric dentists will help you make an informed decision based on your child’s dental and medical history, X-Rays and behavior. If sedation is decided, you can rest assured that your family is in good hands.
While most insurances will not cover dental sedation, we will discuss all insurance and financial information with you at your appointment.
After your child is sedated, he or she will be drowsy and will likely want to sleep. If this is the case, place them on their side with their chin up. Wake your child every hour and encourage them to drink to prevent dehydration. Watch your child carefully to be sure they do not injure themselves. We will discuss all of the care instructions with you during your child’s appointment.

Small BIG practice. They have several offices but they focus on the little things that small practices have and big don't. Like on-time appointments and taking time with little kids that panic. Have always impressed me.
