We will always choose the most conservative treatment options available to your child, and we seek to use non-invasive procedures whenever possible. However, there are times when your child may need to be sedated to care for them properly. Ultimately, their safety and comfort are our utmost concern.
It is not uncommon for a child to be nervous or scared while visiting the dentist. Let’s face it, many grown-ups feel the same way! While we do our best to calm your little one’s nerves and make him or her comfortable, sometimes we are unable to complete certain treatments due to a child’s overwhelming fear or anxiety. Dr. Foster may recommend laughing gas for certain appointments to help your child achieve a positive experience.
Not all children are physically, mentally, and emotionally able to tolerate or cooperate for comprehensive dental care while wide awake in the dental office. Timnath Kids Dentistry brings a team of anesthesia professionals to the office to help in providing complete dental care to child under general anesthesia.
