Dr. Mike Higgins, board certified and state licensed dental anesthesiologist, has been working with Dr. Mike for over 25 years, right in our office.  No hospital or surgery center visits are necessary.  Your child can have their work done safely in a friendly environment that you and your child are familiar with.

Light levels of general anesthesia allow your child to sleep comfortably through their dental treatment while recovering quickly, returning home after a brief recovery period. And, because your child will be asleep, local anesthesia is not necessary, thereby avoiding that “numb” feeling afterwards.  As you can see, this type of general anesthesia is ideally suited for outpatient dental office care for our patients.

Because your child is comfortably asleep, a comprehensive clinical dental examination and higher quality X-rays (radiographs) of their teeth can be easily obtained.  This allows Dr. Mike to see any hidden cavities or other abnormalities that might be difficult to find during a routine exam.
