Sedation Dentistry for Children

Everyone needs to visit the dentist at least once a year – twice a year, preferably – and children are no exception. Starting children off on the right food with proper dental hygiene is one of the best ways to ensure that they maintain a healthy smile throughout adulthood. However, children are often the trickiest patients that we see here at Family & Cosmetic Dental Care. Children are often very anxious about visiting the dentist for the first time because they do not know what to expect. Also, if a child was required to have work done on his/her mouth such as a filling for a cavity or having a tooth pulled, the memory of that experience may cause anxiety about seeing the dentist. While Dr. Mitul Patel and his staff do everything that they can to make our younger patients feel comfortable at the dentist’s office, we understand that sometimes a little help is needed and that is where sedation dentistry for children comes in.

Sedation dentistry is a method of dentistry that allows patients to relax during their dental appointments so that the dentist can successful clean the teeth or perform any type of needed procedure. At Family & Cosmetic Dental Care in Johns Creek, we offer oral conscious sedation in order to provide our patients with a comfortable and pain free dental experience. Dr. Patel is a board-certified Doctor of Dental Surgery and is specially licensed and trained to administer oral conscious sedative medications to his dental patients.

If you believe your child would benefit from sedation dentistry, please contact Family & Costmetic Dental Care today. We can give you the necessary information for you to make a comfortable decision regarding your child, and we can schedule an appointment with Dr. Patel at a convenient time for you.
