What we do differently:
At Happy Kids, we know and understand that every child is different. For this reason, our doctors have extra 2-3 years of training to work with children across ages with different behavioral needs. Some children are more anxious than others. Some are more easily distracted. We've adapted a few different techniques to help them cope. Some of them are:
Behavior management: We use techniques of "Tell Show Do", distraction methods, positive reinforcement, etc, to encourage your child to cooperate.
Laughing gas: Some procedures are often done under local anesthesia. For this, using laughing gas (nitric oxide) is very effective in reducing anxiety. Nitric oxide is administered through a small breathing mask while monitoring the child with a pulse oximeter. The AAPD recognizes this as a very safe technique to relax children.
General anesthesia: Very young and frightened children, especially those with multiple carious lesions, are treated with general anesthesia. This is done after the doctor consults with the parents. Since the entire treatment is done while the child is asleep, this procedure is very helpful in eliminating any fear the child may have. Future non-invasive check-up visits can also continue without worry.
Your child is safe in our hands. That's our promise!
