You’re Part of the Experience

One thing parents consistently appreciate:

You’re invited to come back with your child.

Many offices separate parents and children during treatment-we don’t. We believe your presence helps your child feel:

  • Safer
  • More relaxed
  • More confident

Comfort Options for Every Child

Most children do great with our gentle, kid-friendly approach alone. But when extra support is helpful, we offer safe, appropriate options based on your child’s age and treatment needs:

Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)

Oral Sedation

IV sedation

General anesthesia at Children’s of Alabama

We’ll walk you through everything clearly so you can make the best decision for your child-no pressure, no surprises.

FAQs About Restorative Pediatric Dentistry

Do you use silver (amalgam) fillings?

No-we use mercury-free, tooth-colored fillings for a safer, more natural result.

Can I stay with my child during treatment?

Yes. Parents are welcome back-we believe it helps children feel more comfortable.

What if my child is nervous?

We specialize in helping kids feel at ease and offer additional comfort options if needed.

Are sedation options safe?

Yes. When appropriate, options like laughing gas or sedation are used carefully and tailored to your child.

When does a child need a crown instead of a filling?

If a cavity is large or the tooth is weakened, a crown provides better long-term protection.
