Our Own Surgery Center!
Ambulatory Surgery Center
As pediatric dentists we seek to provide oral health care to infants, children, adolescents, and children with special health care needs in a manner that promotes excellence in quality of care and induces a positive attitude in the patient toward future dental treatment. Our behavior guidance techniques have allowed most patients to receive treatment in the dental office with minimal discomfort and without expressed fear. Minimal or moderate sedation has allowed others who are less compliant to receive treatment. Some children and individuals with special care needs who have extensive oral healthcare needs, acute situational anxiety, uncooperative age-appropriate behavior, immature cognitive functioning, disabilities, or medical conditions require general anesthesia to receive dental treatment in a safe and humane fashion.
Our goals of sedation in the pediatric patient for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are as follows:
(1) to guard the patient’s safety and welfare;
(2) to minimize physical discomfort and pain;
(3) to control anxiety, minimize psychological trauma, and maximize the potential for amnesia;
(4) to modify behavior and/or movement so as to allow the safe completion of the procedure;
(5) to return the patient to a state in which discharge from medical/dental supervision is safe, as determined by recognized criteria.
Orchard Hills Ambulatory Surgery Center is the only state certified pediatric dental surgery center in the region. Our experienced anesthesia providers and nurses work with our pediatric dentists to create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for our patients to receive the highest standard of care.
