Sedation Options (if treatment is needed)

 
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, helps patients relax during their dental visits.   It is given through a small breathing mask which is placed over the child's nose.   The gas has a sweet scent and it is quickly eliminated from the body at the completion of the treatment.   With nitrous oxide, your child remains fully conscious and keeps all natural reflexes.  The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recognizes this technique as a safe and effective method of helping children relax during dental treatment. 
 
In-office General Anesthesia
When your child is a good candidate for sedation because of multiple dental decay, severe dental anxiety, or lack of compliance, general anesthesia may be an option.
 
Dr. Alex Targ is a medical anesthesiologist who provides general anesthesia using the intubation technique.  It is safe and effective.  Patients can go home within 20 minutes of completion of treatment.  He has over than 20 years of experience and has performed over 25,000 pediatric cases.  He is trained through UCSF and Stanford.  As a medical doctor, Dr. Targ is able to help you seek reimbursement for your child's sedation through your medical insurance.
