What is a Pediatric Dental Anesthesiologist?
Generally, local anesthesia is used for pediatric dental procedures. This doesn’t require any extra care or attention, but is rather routine in nature. For those young patients who tend to be fearful, uncooperative, or have a high level of anxiety, general anesthesia (also known as IV sedation) is often used – especially for in-depth procedures.
A pediatric dental anesthesiologist is one who oversees the administration of this sedation to ensure the safety of the patient at every step along the way.

While certain dental professionals obtain training in administering IV sedation, it is not often as extensive as the training received by a pediatric dental anesthesiologist.
Having someone with such high-quality skill and knowledge as part of our dental team is comforting for both parents and our patients.
