In rare cases where the child is very young, fearful and there is extensive dental treatment needed, we have doctors who are certified in conscious oral sedation. This is a much safer and less expensive treatment than general anesthesia and many children actually fall asleep during their appointment.
"Oral sedation for my young child was the answer. She had a lot of dental problems and was scared to go take care of them. After her oral sedation appointment, she was able to do all her treatment at one time and didn't remember any of the discomfort. She actually is happy about her teeth now and looks forward to the next appointment."
