Hospital Procedures

For children that are very young, have high anxiety, need a lot of dental work, or have special needs, general anesthesia in a hospital setting may be recommended. Especially if your child needs to remain completely still or if there is a lot to fix, a hospital environment might be the safest and most efficient way to complete the dental procedures.

Typically there is your pediatric dentist, an assistant, and the hospital anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist focuses on monitoring your child during the entire procedure while the pediatric dentist works with the assistant to complete the work needed for your child. All three work in tandem for the health and safety of your child to make the experience efficient and comfortable.

Our pediatric dentists have hospital privileges at area hospitals.

Our pediatric dentists can provide a wide array of surgical procedures, including hospital procedures.

However, if there is a need for an oral surgeon, we work closely with excellent oral surgeons right here in Howard County and we can make that referral for you.
