At Rockstar Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we understand that every child is unique—and so are their dental needs. For some children, especially those with complex medical conditions, special needs, or extreme dental anxiety, traditional in-office care may not be the best option. That’s why we offer hospital dentistry with general anesthesia right here in Washington, DC—a safe and compassionate solution for children who need comprehensive dental treatment in a controlled environment.

Hospital dentistry involves completing all necessary dental procedures while your child is under general anesthesia in a hospital or surgical setting. This approach is often recommended when:

• A child is unable to tolerate dental procedures due to age, anxiety, or developmental conditions.
• Extensive dental work is needed that would be too stressful or lengthy to complete over multiple visits.
• The child has medical conditions that require hospital monitoring.

By providing care under general anesthesia, we can ensure your child receives the treatment they need in a safe, stress-free environment.

• Comfort and Calm: Children remain completely asleep and unaware during the procedure, eliminating fear, anxiety, or pain.
• Efficiency: All necessary dental treatments—such as fillings, crowns, extractions, or cleanings—can be completed in a single session.
• Safety: Treatment is carried out under the supervision of a medical anesthesiologist in a hospital or surgery center, with full monitoring and support.
• Better Outcomes: Reduces the emotional trauma that might be associated with multiple difficult visits, helping promote a positive view of dental care long-term.

We use hospital dentistry for a variety of treatments, including but not limited to:

• Full-mouth rehabilitation
• Treatment of severe tooth decay
• Dental extractions
• Stainless steel crowns
• Management of abscessed or infected teeth
• Deep cleanings for children with special needs
