Is sedation dentistry fit for your child?
Are you worried whether sedation dentistry is right for your child? Although we commonly know that local anaesthesia numbs nerves and general anaesthesia puts patients into a deep sleep, there is more.

– IV sedation ensures little or no recollection of the dental procedure.
Consult your dentist about sedation dentistry for your child.
