Welcome to Favorite Smile Pediatric Dentistry, where Dr. Cristina Alarcon and our team in Towson, Maryland, prioritize your child’s comfort and safety. Our services include Conscious Sedation, a gentle approach that ensures anxiety-free dental visits for children. Learn more about how Dr. Alarcon uses this method to create a positive dental experience for your little one on our dedicated Conscious Sedation page.

Conscious Sedation is caused by special drugs and is used to help relieve anxiety during medical/dental or surgical procedures. Drugs may be given to relieve pain at the same time.

In addition to the use of Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) a sedative is given to allow a level of sedation in which a person is asleep but wakes when spoken to or touched.

PLEASE NOTE: Pregnant women must remain in the waiting room if nitrous is being used in the operatory with the child.

Please do not give your child anything to eat or drink after 12:00 AM the night before. This will cause a rescheduled appointment.
