Pediatric Treatments in Burton

Dental sedation is the use of medication to relax patients with special needs or dental anxiety. The primary use of sedation is to put patients at ease and reduce negative emotions. However, sedation can also suppress a sensitive gag reflex, reduce pain sensation and restlessness, and improve patient cooperation. 

‍

Another benefit of sedation is that it enables your Burton pediatric dentist to get more dental work done in less time, which can save you time and money. Sedation is a tool available for you to make your child more comfortable and to make the dental treatment process go smoother. Call us today to learn more!

If your child has a medical condition, mental or physical disability, or other limitations that affect their oral health or the manner they need to receive dental care, this is considered special needs.

Whether your child has sensory issues, dental anxiety, ADHD, Autism, or some other disability or medical condition, we are proud to serve the special needs community by making any special accommodations that will make dental treatment more accessible.

This can include altering the dental environment, providing comforting amenities, or administering dental sedation. Pediatric dentists are specially trained in how to treat children with special needs. 

Your child will receive compassionate and understanding special needs care at Sunflower Pediatric Dentistry from our Burton pediatric dentist, where we put our patient's needs first. Call us today to learn more!

Choosing Silver Diamine Fluoride for your child's dental treatment can be a game-changer. Traditional methods of treating cavities often involve drilling and filling, which can be uncomfortable and intimidating for young patients. SDF, on the other hand, is simply painted onto the tooth, eliminating the need for drills or injections. This can lead to a more positive dental experience for your child, which in turn encourages better long-term oral health habits. Furthermore, SDF not only stops the decay process but also helps to remineralize the teeth, strengthening them against future decay. This cost-effective and quick procedure is helping to improve oral health outcomes in the community, making dental care more accessible and less stressful for families.
