A Dental Office Designed Around Children
A dental appointment that seems routine to an adult can feel like a big experience to a child. That is one reason pediatric dentistry is different.
Dr. Thomas Baker completed additional specialty training in pediatric dentistry and is board certified. The practice focuses on making visits positive while providing individualized dental care for children from infancy through young adulthood.
Parents searching for a kids dentist in Ammon, Idaho or even a family dentist in the Ammon area may prefer a pediatric specialist because the entire approach is centered around younger patients.
Sedation and Special Needs Dentistry
Some children need a little extra help getting through dental treatment. Others may have extensive dental needs, strong dental anxiety, difficulty sitting through a procedure, or special healthcare considerations.
Baker Pediatric Dentistry provides several sedation options, including:
- Nitrous oxide and oxygen
- Oral conscious sedation
- General anesthesia for appropriate cases
Dr. Baker is certified in pediatric oral sedation and holds hospital privileges that allow general anesthesia to be provided for children with extensive dental needs when appropriate.
Our goal is not simply to finish a procedure. It is to find an approach that makes sense for your child.
