Sleep Dentistry is the performance of dental procedures, in a hospital-like setting, while the patient is under a sedation.
We use oral sedation in the form of a pill or liquid to sedate the child so as to calm down to undergo the dental procedures.
Besides being able to get treatment done on a very uncooperative/apprehensive kid, all or most of the treatment needed is completed in a single visit. The child must be at least two and a half years old, weigh at least thirty pounds and should not have any health conditions. Child should come for this visit after fasting for at least 12 hours.
Dr. Siva Cherukuri, DDS is among the few top pediatric dentists in San Francisco Bay Area, offering excellent pediatric dental services for over 15 years to the children of all ages.
