Dentistry is an important aspect of any child’s health and well-being. Our dentists will carefully assess a child’s anxiety levels and may recommend sedation dentistry in some cases, especially for those with high anxiety, during difficult times, or where the treatment site is hard to access, ensuring a comfortable experience for the whole family. In addition, various factors play a hand in determining if sedation is the right choice, such as the child's condition, potential side effects, and even rights as a family member to have a say in their treatment plan. The sedation used at Uptown Dentistry is approved for children by the AAPD (American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry). The team member who administers the sedation and evaluates the patient is fully licensed and has ample experience sedating both children and adults. They follow a precise method, including the appropriate dose, to ensure your child's safety and comfort during the procedure.
