Dental Anxiety

If your child suffers from dental anxiety, a visit to our office might seem like a daunting prospect. Perhaps they had a bad experience in the past, but whatever the reason; please know that at our office, there is nothing to be afraid of. We understand that many kids may be anxious about receiving dental treatments, and we’re here to help them have a comfortable, pain-free experience that will put both their and your fears to rest.

Treatment

If your child experiences dental anxiety, it is important to let our office know in advance, so we can provide your child with the dental care they need, with an added touch of TLC. We can assist by explaining behavioral techniques for relaxation, by administering general anesthesia, or by prescribing a relaxing medication prior to your dental procedure.

Is sedation on children safe?

Sedation is safe when administered by a trained pediatric dentist who follows the sedation guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Tang will discuss sedation options and patient monitoring for the protection of your child.
