Common questions
What parents ask about sedation dentistry
Is sedation right for every child?
No. Dr. Tiana considers age, health history, anxiety level, treatment needs, and safety before recommending any comfort option.
Is nitrous oxide the same as being asleep?
No. Nitrous oxide can help children relax while they remain awake and responsive during care.
