What Does a Pediatric Dental Anesthesiologist Do?
For most pediatric dental procedures, local anesthesia is enough and is used as a standard part of treatment. However, some children may feel extremely anxious, struggle to stay calm, or need more complex dental work. In these cases, general anesthesia (also known as IV sedation) may be recommended.
A pediatric dental anesthesiologist is specially trained to administer this type of sedation. Their role is to monitor your child closely and manage the entire sedation process—ensuring maximum comfort and complete safety from start to finish.
Why a Pediatric Dental Anesthesiologist Matters
When it comes to IV sedation, not all training is created equal. Pediatric dental anesthesiologists receive advanced, specialized education focused solely on children—far beyond the basic certification some dental professionals carry.
Having this level of expertise on our team ensures every child receives safe, closely monitored care. It also provides peace of mind for parents, knowing their child is in highly capable hands.
