Question 5

Does Jolly & Morton Advanced Dentistry offer pediatric sedation dentistry?

Accepted Answer

Yes we do! Pediatric sedation dentistry is becoming increasingly common, especially for children who may have anxiety or special needs that make it difficult for them to sit still or cooperate during dental treatment. Sedation can help children relax and feel more comfortable during dental procedures, and it can also help to reduce their anxiety and discomfort.There are different types of sedation dentistry that can be used for children, ranging from mild forms of sedation, like nitrous oxide (laughing gas), to deeper sedation with oral medication or IV sedation. The type of sedation used will depend on the child&#8217;s age, medical history, and the complexity of the dental procedure.While sedation dentistry is safe and effective, it&#8217;s important to note that it does carry some risks, and should only be administered by a trained and experienced dentist, like Dr. Morton. Before considering sedation dentistry for your child, it&#8217;s important to discuss the risks and benefits with Dr. Morton, and make an informed decision based on your child&#8217;s individual needs and circumstances.

Question 6

Why should my child see an emergency pediatric dentist, rather than going to the ER?

Accepted Answer

If your child has a dental emergency, it’s likely better to seek care from a pediatric dentist rather than going to the emergency room (ER) for several reasons:Expertise | Pediatric dentists are specifically trained to deal with dental emergencies in children, including trauma to the mouth or teeth, severe toothaches, and infections. They have the knowledge and skills to provide specialized care for children and ensure that the treatment provided is appropriate for their age and developmental stage.Equipment and supplies | Pediatric dental offices are equipped with specialized equipment and supplies that may not be available in an emergency room setting. For example, they may have smaller instruments designed for children&#8217;s mouths and teeth, or sedation equipment to help children relax during procedures.Wait times | Emergency rooms are often busy with patients who have more severe medical emergencies, which means that children with dental emergencies may experience long wait times before being seen. In contrast, pediatric dental offices, like Jolly &#038; Morton Advanced Dentistry, will prioritize emergencies and can often see patients more quickly.Cost | Emergency room visits can be expensive, especially for non-life-threatening dental emergencies. In many cases, dental insurance plans cover emergency dental care, but may not cover emergency room visits for dental issues.In summary, if your child has a dental emergency, it&#8217;s important to seek care from a pediatric dentist rather than going to the emergency room. Pediatric dentists, like Dr. Morton, are trained to handle dental emergencies for children and can provide specialized care that is appropriate for their age and developmental stage.
