We strive to make your child’s dental experience as comfortable as possible. We work hard to personalize each child’s visit and offer a variety of sedation options to tailor our care to your child’s specific needs. Should your child require any level of sedation, Dr. Laura and Dr. Katie will take time reviewing the different types of sedations we offer to comfortably and safely complete their care.

Each individual’s medical history - including, but not limited to, respiratory issues, heart issues, and bleeding disorders - is carefully considered in the evaluation options. Medical history will also determine if general anesthesia procedures happen at the hospital or our office.
