Sedation Dentistry
At Hampton Roads Pediatric Dentistry, our pediatric dentists are trained in working with young, immature and sometimes frightened children and those children with special needs. We do not sedate every child that comes to our office. Our goal is to treat children in the safest and least invasive way possible. Whether or not we use oral sedation for your child will depend on our pediatric dentist's recommendation, your child's condition and anxiety level and you, the parent's input.
If sedation is recommended for your child, we will take every precaution to make sure your child receives the proper monitoring and care necessary. We will use a combination of monitoring tools to assure the safety of your child. While we cannot make sedation risk-free, we do all we can to facilitate safety for our patients.
