IV Sedation & Dental Rehabilitation Surgery for Kids in Casa Grande, AZ

We consider IV sedation a safe and effective way to help children through dental procedures when other methods are not enough. It may be an option when:

• a child is extremely anxious, fearful or uncooperative even with behavior guidance and gentle techniques;
• extensive or invasive treatment is needed, such as multiple fillings, extractions or other surgical procedures;
• a child has a strong gag reflex, special health care needs or limited ability to tolerate treatment; or
• earlier attempts at treatment were traumatic or unsuccessful.

At Kid-1, IV sedation is reserved for situations where less-invasive approaches have been tried and are not appropriate or effective. Those approaches include tell-show-do, positive reinforcement, nitrous oxide, distraction and oral sedation. Our goal is always to use the least restrictive, least invasive method that will keep your child safe and comfortable.

Not every child needs sedation. Your child's dentist will talk through the options with you first.

A dedicated anesthesia team comes to our Casa Grande office 3 or 4 days each month. That allows us to provide comprehensive dental care for a patient in a single visit under IV sedation. Call us to ask about scheduling.

Begin with a call or a visit. Your child's dentist will talk with you about the options and answer your questions before any treatment. If you already have a treatment plan from another office and would like another opinion, we offer free second-opinion consultations.
