When Sedation Helps

Sedation can be beneficial for children who experience severe dental anxiety, have special needs, require extensive treatment, or are too young to cooperate during complex procedures. Our underwater-themed office helps many children feel comfortable, but when additional support is needed, sedation ensures safe, effective treatment. We carefully evaluate each child to determine if sedation would enhance their dental experience
