The American Dental Association suggests you ask these questions of your dentist before your child’s office procedure.

• Who will provide the preoperative evaluation of my child, including taking a full medical history?
• How long before the office visit should my child avoid food or drink?
• Will my child take sedating medication at home before the procedure? If so, how should I monitor the child?
• What experience does the sedation provider have? Does this experience meet guidelines from the American Dental Association?
• Does staff assisting in the procedure have current training in emergency resuscitation?
