Pediatric Dentisty
Our dentists are comfortable with all phases of children's dental care, including cleanings, fillings, orthodontia, crowns and more. We have techniques specifically designed for children, which establish trust and help your child accept dental treatment. Sedation may be an attractive alternative as well.
Our team will regularly evaluate your child's dental needs to provide the highest level of prevention and treatment. As your child grows, we will monitor your child's teeth for early treatment of bite or tooth alignment problems that may arise. We are committed to providing the best possible dental care for your child in a friendly, anxiety-free environment.
Time is available for children (and adults) who wish to learn more about the dentist and dental visits. This helps establish trust and create a positive dental experience. It's fun and it's free! Please call us at (801) 766-3600 for more information.
We want your child to have the best experience possible. For some children it is hard to understand why they have to keep their mouth open and hold very still for so long. We typically have them breath “happy gas” (nitrous oxide) and watch a children’s movie for a few minutes to help calm and relax them. The I.V. is then placed (usually with little or no discomfort) and as they become sedated we ask the parent(s) to exit and wait in the waiting room until their needed work is completed. We like to have the parent(s) present when the child wakes up to comfort and reassure them. This usually goes very smoothly and helps to avoid traumatic dental experiences which may adversely affect a patient for years. As an added benefit, when they are sedated we have the ability to deliver a higher quality of care than is at times possible with a patient who may be uncooperative or unhappy. In office sedation typically is less costly than hospital or surgical center based sedation.
