Do you put children to sleep to fix their teeth?
Yes! Often times patients with severe apprehension and/or a large amount of treatment needed will have a much better experience by having their work completed in the Operating Room. In this scenario, all treatment will be completed in one trip, usually in about a third of the time it would take to complete in the office.
Treatment is completed in an operating room setting, with a professional anesthesiologist to assure the safest environment. All procedures are first thing in the morning. By early evening most children are playing as if they hadn’t had treatment that same morning! There is no better way to have dentistry done, after all you don’t even know your doing it!
