Everyday treatment
We also use space maintainers when a baby tooth comes out early. For a toddler’s cavity, silver diamine fluoride can stop it when waiting is the kinder choice.
For anxious children
Laughing air
Nitrous oxide, or “laughing air,” is available for $60 a visit. It can help a child settle while still awake and able to communicate.
IV sedation
Our visiting dental anesthesiologist is in the office two Fridays each month. This option is for young children with a lot of treatment to complete. We quote the cost in writing ahead of time.
We keep the plan human
Some children need a break. Some need to see and touch before they are ready. There is no prize for pushing through a visit. We will stop, regroup, and try again when that is the kinder choice.
