We like to use the “tell, show, do” approach in explaining dental techniques and procedures to the child.
Our doctors and team talk to children in a way that they enjoy and understand. Most dental procedures are completed with local anesthesia. However, for the very young, uncooperative, or fearful child, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation are available treatment options.

We understand that deciding whether to move forward with dental sedation for your child is an important and sometimes difficult decision. Your child’s safety and your peace of mind are our highest priorities. Please take a few moments to watch the videos below to learn about our sedation partner and what to expect for your child’s procedure. We hope it helps you feel informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way!
