My child has a special medical problem; can he/she be sedated?
Children with medical problems such as congenital abnormalities, diabetes, seizures, severe asthma or severe behavioral disturbances may not be able to have IV sedation in the office. We may recommend that the child with special problems have their dental care at the hospital or surgery center under general anesthesia. Most medical insurance companies are now required to cover hospitalization or outpatient surgery services for pediatric dental patients. If you have individual questions contact our office.
