Sedation Dentistry for Pediatric Patients in Davidson, NC
Does your child struggle with dental visits? Some children fear needles, shots, or confined spaces, possibly due to a traumatic dental or medical experience that they had in the past. Others have sensitive teeth, a severe gag reflex, or difficulty getting numb from a local anesthetic like Novocaine. And some children find it hard to sit still or control their movements for extended periods of time.
If any of this sounds familiar to you, consider sedation dentistry. Fortunately, if you’re in Davidson, North Carolina, or the surrounding area, you can get your child's dental care at Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry. We prioritize our patients’ care and comfort, and we’ll do whatever we can to help ensure your child has a relaxing experience at our office.
Your Top Choice for Pediatric Sedation Dentistry
Below are a few reasons why you can feel confident choosing Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry for your child’s sedation dentistry needs:
Extensive Experience
Families in the greater Davidson area have relied on us for pediatric dental care since 1992. In fact, during that time, we’ve treated more than 250,000 children. Our dental professionals stay updated on the latest treatments and technologies so that they can provide patients with exceptional care. When we need to consult on particularly challenging cases, our hospital affiliations make it easy for us to do so.
Comprehensive Care
At Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry, we take pride in being a full-service pediatric dentist. With that in mind, we offer a wide array of sedation dentistry options, including:
- Oral conscious sedation (which is administered as an oral medication, causing your child to feel drowsy)
- Nitrous oxide sedation (which is administered through a nose mask, producing a euphoric sensation)
- Intravenous (IV) sedation (which is administered through an IV, causing your child to fall asleep)
- General anesthesia (which is administered and monitored by an Anesthesiologist at either Valleygate Dental Surgical Center or Novant Medical Center along with one of our providers)
Once we’ve learned more about your child’s unique circumstances—for example, what’s causing them to feel anxious and what type of treatment they require—we’ll recommend the sedation approach that best serves their needs.
Affordable Treatment
Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry participates with most insurance plans. We understand that the claims process can sometimes be confusing, so we help ease the burden by communicating with carriers and submitting paperwork on patients’ behalf.
