Some children are given nitrous oxide/oxygen, or what you may know as laughing gas, to relax them for their dental treatment. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a blend of two gases, oxygen and nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is given through a small breathing mask which is placed over the childs nose, allowing them to relax, but without putting them to sleep. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recognizes this technique as a very safe, effective technique to use for treating childrens dental needs. The gas is mild, easily taken, then with normal breathing, it is quickly eliminated from the body. It is non-addictive. While inhaling nitrous oxide/oxygen, your child remains fully conscious and keeps all natural reflexes.

I.V. Sedation is recommended for apprehensive children, very young children, and children with special needs that would not work well under conscious sedation. The dentist performs the dental treatment in our office with the child anesthetized under I.V. sedation, which is administered and monitored by an anesthesiologist.

  • If your child wants to sleep, place them on their side with their chin up. Wake your child every hour and encourage them to have something to drink in order to prevent dehydration. At first it is best to give your child sips of clear liquids to prevent nausea. The first meal should be light and easily digestible.

    Radiographs detect much more than cavities. For example, radiographs may be needed to survey erupting teeth, diagnose bone diseases, evaluate the results of an injury, or plan orthodontic treatment. Radiographs allow dentists to diagnose and treat health conditions that cannot be detected during a clinical examination. If dental problems are found and treated early, dental care is more comfortable for your child and more affordable for you.

    The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends radiographs and examinations every six months for children with a high risk of tooth decay. On average, most pediatric dentists request radiographs approximately once a year. Approximately every 3 years, it is a good idea to obtain a complete set of radiographs, either a panoramic and bitewings or periapicals and bitewings.

    We used the latest digital imaging for our patients. Digital xray reduces the radiation exposure up to 50%; it also eliminates the use of toxic chemicals that are used with film development. We are particularly careful to minimize the exposure of their patients to radiation. Lead body aprons and shields will protect your child. Todays equipment filters out unnecessary x-rays and restricts the x-ray beam to the area of interest.

    (Translated by Google) This hospital is very rubbish. The previous address was 20885 GOLDEN SPRINGS DR Diamond bar 91789. Now I moved to west covina for half a year and did not change my address at the insurance company. The referral insurance also specifies this place, and I don't even give you dental visits!

    It's a clean and modern clinic, the doctors, nurses and receptionist are all friendly and helpful. My son smiled after he got a rattle toy after seeing the doctor. But recently we had to wait for over 40mins to get to see the doctor.
