Growth and Development Assessment:

As a pediatric dental specialists Dr. Solis is an expert on the growth and development of children’s dentition, jaws and craniofacial structures.  Early growth and development evaluation may provide your child with a more positive experience should they need orthodontic treatment.

Sedation Dentistry:

Sedation dentistry refers to the use of sedation during dental treatment. Sedation is most commonly used during extensive procedures, for patients with dental phobia or for patients who find it difficult to sit still. Our office offers nitrous oxide sedation.

Sedation can range from the use of nitrous oxide to calm a patient to general anesthetics used to put patients to sleep. Patients with dental phobia, low pain tolerance, major dental treatment, physical handicaps or strong gag reflexes may require sedation. Procedures like fillings, crowns, and extractions often require sedation.

Sedation is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and is an effective way to make many patients comfortable during their dental visit. Before using a sedative or anesthetic, it is important to tell Dr. Solis about any medications or medical treatments your child is receiving. Before administering any sedative or anesthetic, we will talk to you about the process of sedation and pre- and post-sedation instructions.

Hospital Dentistry:

If necessary, Dr. Solis may recommend dental treatment be performed a hospital under general anesthesia.
