Getting rid of dental anxiety starts right here.

Some Children Are Afraid of Visiting the Dentist!

Is your child avoiding dental care due to a fear of pain?

Are their dental problems getting worse because they’re afraid to visit the dentist?

Does your child prefer to suffer through a toothache rather than visit a dental office, or do they miss routine appointments and ignore dental pain because of anxiety? Don’t let fear compromise your child’s dental health or keep them from having the smile they’ve always wanted!

What our patients are saying

Some of the sedation options we provide

Intravenous (IV) sedation is a type of conscious sedation where medication is administered directly into the patient’s bloodstream via an IV line. It’s often used during medical procedures to alleviate anxiety and pain, while keeping the patient awake and responsive. The level of sedation can vary from mild relaxation to deep sedation, depending on the dosage and the patient’s specific needs. IV sedation is generally safe, effective, and well-tolerated, but requires close monitoring to maintain the patient’s safety and comfort.

At Hawthorne Children’s Dental, we offer nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, to help make dental visits more comfortable and stress-free for children. This safe and effective form of sedation is inhaled through a small mask and works quickly to help kids relax, raise their pain tolerance, and alleviate anxiety during dental procedures. Nitrous oxide wears off rapidly, allowing your child to return to their usual activities shortly after the appointment. Our goal is to provide a positive and calm experience, ensuring every visit is pleasant and worry-free.

This approach involves gently introducing kids to the dental environment and procedures in a supportive, step-by-step manner. By familiarizing them with the sights, sounds, and sensations of the dental office, we aim to reduce anxiety and build trust. Desensitization dentistry helps children become more comfortable and confident, making future visits smoother and more enjoyable. Our compassionate team is dedicated to creating a positive experience, ensuring that every child feels safe and at ease during their time with us.
