At Athens Area Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. John Hansford can humanely and safely treat kids of any age and disposition. When children get cavities between teeth and/or cavities of moderate depth or deeper, they require some level of anesthesia. There are generally five levels of anesthesia: local anesthesia, mild sedation, moderate sedation, deep sedation, and general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is the numbing injection that removes the pain of the procedure. This removes the feeling of pain, but does nothing for the emotional response to feeling numb and having dental work done. Learn more.

At Athens Area Pediatric Dentistry, we believe in a conservative approach to dentistry, and tooth extractions are always our last resort. However, if no other treatment can be used by Dr. John Hansford to restore a damaged tooth, extracting your child’s tooth may be the best option. Learn more about pediatric tooth extractions below, or contact us for an appointment now.
