What we do, by what children need
Each visit has its own page, with what happens, how it feels and how it is billed.
Sedation
Nitrous oxide or a medicine by mouth, for the child who needs help getting through treatment.
About sedationTeen visits
Mouthguards, wisdom tooth questions and a visit that is the teen's own.

What we send elsewhere
Some care belongs with someone else. We say so, and we write the referral.
Braces and aligners
Dr. Yates looks at how teeth and jaws are growing and refers you to an orthodontist when treatment is worth considering.
Adults
Parents and grandparents see a general dentist; we are glad to suggest one.
Deeper sedation and general anesthesia
Referred to a hospital or an anesthesia team, with a letter from Dr. Yates.
Surgery of the mouth and jaw
Referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
