Pain Management
For routine dental care, such as sealants and fillings, we do not anticipate much patient discomfort following the procedure.
If your child’s treatment includes:
- Crowns
- Extractions
- Root canals
Then some mild postoperative discomfort is to be expected. In these cases, we may recommend over-the-counter NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as:
- Motrin
- Tylenol
In the event that we anticipate more obvious discomfort after a procedure, the dentist will proactively prescribe pain medication for the patient.

He's now 10. Still happy. He had 4 teeth extracted today and everything went swimmingly. Thank you!!Casey WeissThe staff is all tailored to every child’s needs. I have watched them provide excellent service to not only my 4 children for the last 13 years but any child that is in there. I bring 4 wild children in at the same time everytime and although they are grown to not being running wild anymore, when they were they understood and were respectful. They are a well oiled machine and dr. NGO is amazing. They are gentle and allow the children a safe place to take it all in. This place will not traumatize your children. As we know the dentist isn’t fun. This place is fun. Thank you kids focus. One happy momChelea DominguezAll of the staff are wonderful! Super kid-friendlyKristin Hinkson
