Is Your Child A Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
If your child feels nervous or afraid when it comes to receiving dental care, they may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry.

We may recommend sedation for procedures that are particularly complex or lengthy for the comfort of the patient.
