What We Do
Pediatric Dental Surgical Associates specifically and only provides operative full-mouth dental rehabilitation for healthy well, special needs, and medically compromised children ages 1-6, delivered by a board certified pediatric dentist under general anesthesia administered by a pediatric anesthesiologist strictly in an outpatient hospital setting.
Why?
- Significant disparities exist for the most vulnerable patients (80% of the decay is in 20% of the population)
- Multi-quadrant operative dental rehabilitation due to complex treatment plans, behavior difficulties, special needs, and other issues that make treatment in the customary office setting untenable
- Papoose use is contraindicated in most children
- Resources for pediatric dental specialists with hospital credentials, networked with most PPO and Medicaid insurances plans are extremely scarce.
- Sedation is risky
- Access to care
- Sealant based programs don’t address operative needs
- Missed time from work, school, for in office dental appointments
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide safe, timely, and highly-specialized full mouth operative pediatric dental care in a controlled hospital setting under general anesthesia, administered by a dedicated pediatric anesthesiologist, allowing patients to return to their primary care dental homes, with high-quality restorative work completed compassionately, and ready for lifelong preventive care.
