  • Please give your child little or no food before the dental visit. (Occasionally, nausea or vomiting occurs when a child has a full stomach.)

  • Please tell your pediatric dentist if your child is taking any medication on the day of the appointment.

Preparing for the use of Mild Oral Sedation

  • If your child feels sick within 2 days of the appointment please contact our office. We may need to reschedule the appointment depending on the situation.
  • We will help send the necessary paperwork to your pediatrician; sometimes the pediatrician may want to see your child for an exam if it has been a long time since their last visit.
  • We require 48 buisness hours notice to cancel any appointments.
  • A legal guardian must be present with patient day of procedure. If other arrangements are being made, please inform our staff in advance. Consent from a legal guardian is required.
