iv sedation

Our decision to sedate or not sedate your child would be made solely with the best interest of your child in mind. If sedation is recommended it is because Dr Marcie feels strongly that the risks of performing dentistry while your child is awake would outweigh the inherent risks of sedation.

We partner with Dr. Gershon Fink, a pediatric anesthesiologist, and his team to ensure your child has the best care possible.

Analgesia can now be gained without having to inject into the gums.
