Children's Sedation

American River Dental treats pediatric patients in Rancho Cordova. Our doctors often treat patients who present special challenges related to their age, behavior, medical conditions, or any other special needs. To address these challenges effectively in order to provide “predictable” treatment, your pediatric dentist may recommend treating your child under General Anesthesia.

We will discuss all the necessary steps that must be taken in order to promptly and safely complete your child’s dental treatment after this treatment option has been chosen.

We only provide in-office sedation to patients who are 13 years old or older. For patients 12 and younger, we will refer out or provide specialized care through our hospital dentistry services.
