Sedation Options For Children With Special Needs

Each child is different, and some kids may have a harder time coping with sustained dental care than others do. Some children feel frightened or nervous, and others have emotional or physically barriers that make treatment more challenging.

For children in these situations, Smile Town Dentistry offers many safe, effective sedation and anesthesia options to help ensure they get the dental care they need.
