At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that some children require more advanced care than traditional sedation methods can offer. General anesthesia is a safe and effective way to help children undergo dental procedures comfortably, especially when they are very young, anxious, or have special healthcare needs.
General anesthesia may be recommended when a child needs extensive dental work, is extremely fearful, or has difficulty sitting still for long periods. It allows the dentist to complete multiple procedures in a single visit while your child sleeps peacefully.
This method ensures a pain-free experience and helps prevent the emotional trauma sometimes associated with complex dental treatments. Parents can rest assured knowing their child is in a deep, controlled sleep, without awareness of the procedure.

At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that every child has unique needs when it comes to comfort and care. That’s why we provide safe and effective sedation options tailored for kids, from mild relaxation with laughing gas to deeper calming methods for complex treatments. Our goal is to make every visit stress-free, comfortable, and positive for your child.
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a safe and gentle way to help kids feel calm during dental treatments. It works quickly, wears off fast, and allows your child to remain awake while reducing anxiety and discomfort. This makes it one of the most common pediatric sedation options.
Oral conscious sedation is given in liquid or pill form to help children feel relaxed while staying awake and responsive. It’s ideal for kids with higher dental anxiety or those needing longer treatments. Our team carefully monitors your child to ensure safety and comfort throughout the visit.
IV sedation is recommended for children who require deeper relaxation during more complex procedures. It works quickly through a small IV line, helping your child stay calm and comfortable while our pediatric dentist completes treatment efficiently. Safety is our priority, and your child is monitored closely the entire time.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to care for children with a variety of special needs. Our experienced team creates a patient, understanding, and supportive environment tailored to each child’s abilities. With gentle communication, flexible approaches, and a focus on comfort, we make dental visits positive for every child.

With general anesthesia, your child won’t feel or remember the procedure. This prevents trauma and creates a more positive outlook toward future dental visits. It’s a relief for both the child and parent knowing everything will go smoothly.
Instead of scheduling several appointments, general anesthesia allows multiple treatments in one session. This saves time off school and work while reducing overall stress and recovery periods.
For children with extensive dental needs, medical conditions, or behavioral concerns, general anesthesia offers a safe solution. It allows the dental team to focus entirely on treatment without distractions, ensuring optimal outcomes.
We begin with a full dental and medical evaluation to determine if general anesthesia is right for your child. We discuss your child’s needs and answer all your questions during this visit.
If general anesthesia is recommended, we coordinate with a certified anesthesia provider. We provide detailed instructions for pre-op preparation, including eating and drinking guidelines.
On the day of the procedure, your child is placed under general anesthesia in a fully monitored setting. Our dental and anesthesia team remains present throughout to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Yes. When administered by licensed professionals in a controlled setting, general anesthesia is a very safe and effective option for children who need extensive or complex dental care.
The duration depends on the procedure, but your child will be under anesthesia only for as long as necessary. Our team monitors them closely throughout the process.
After waking up, your child will be monitored during recovery. Most children feel sleepy for a few hours and may need a day of rest before resuming normal activities.
While rare, risks can include nausea or mild allergic reactions. Our team will thoroughly explain all potential risks beforehand and take every precaution to minimize them.
We’ll give you clear pre-op instructions, including when to stop eating or drinking. Keep your child calm and reassure them they’ll be safe and comfortable throughout the visit.
