Pediatric Dentistry Asleep

Pediatric Dentistry Asleep is a dental practice dedicated to providing specialized and comprehensive dental care for infants, children, and adolescents, with a particular focus on those who may have challenges receiving treatment in a conventional dental office environment. This includes children with extensive dental needs, behavioral issues, very young patients, those with developmental or cognitive impairments, or children who need to travel long distances for care. The core of their service model is the provision of full-mouth rehabilitation and other necessary dental procedures in a single visit, performed under general anesthesia. This approach is designed to ensure a safe, gentle, and effective experience for the child, minimizing anxiety, discomfort, and the need for multiple appointments. They prioritize the child's comfort and safety throughout the entire process. Pediatric Dentistry Asleep operates with a highly skilled and experienced team that includes pediatric dentists, physician anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), operating room technicians (OR Techs), and registered nurses (RNs). This collaborative team works to deliver hospital-style care in a specialized dental setting, often utilizing the facilities of fully accredited ambulatory surgery centers or hospitals to ensure the highest standards of safety and care. Their services cater to a wide range of pediatric dental needs, all performed while the child is asleep. This method is particularly beneficial for complex procedures or for children who experience extreme dental anxiety, have special needs, or are unable to cooperate during awake dental treatments. The practice aims to eliminate the child's memory of the procedure, as well as any sense of time, smell, or sound associated with the dental visit, thereby fostering a more positive long-term relationship with dental care. Pediatric Dentistry Asleep is committed to making quality dental care accessible for all children, regardless of their background or specific health needs. They often receive referrals from other dentists (including pediatric dentists), pediatricians, early childhood programs, school nurses, and various insurance programs, highlighting their recognized expertise in this specialized field. They offer comprehensive plans to support families through the entire process, from initial consultation to post-surgery follow-up.
