Overview
Welcome to WIHD Dental Department!
Our caring staff provides comprehensive dental services for
both children and adults with special needs.
We recommend a child's first dental visit be at one (1) year
of age or when their first baby tooth erupts, which ever comes
first!
Our services include:
- All phases of general dentistry & specialty referrals.
- Outpatient oral pre-medication for those apprehensive special
needs patients.
- Intravenous (IV) sedation (conscious sedation) and/or General
Anesthesia (GA) for those special needs patients unable to
successfully be treated with outpatient oral pre-medication
in the clinic setting.
Ambulatory Surgery (same day surgery) is sometimes required
to meet the dental needs of our special patients therefore we
have our Intravenous (IV) Sedation/General Anesthesia (GA) Program.
Some special needs patients require oral surgery (extractions,
biopsy etc.) under IV SEDATION (conscious sedation). These patients
need a higher level of sedation that outpatient premedication
does not provide.
Some special needs patients require general dentistry (exam,
full series of Xrays, cleaning, fillings etc.) under GENERAL
ANESTHESIA. These patients were unable to be treated successfully
after many attempts with outpatient premedication in the clinic
setting.
- IV sedation cases (2-3) are done every Thursday morning
by the Oral Surgery staff at WMC.
- General Anesthesia cases are done every Thursday (2 cases)
and every Saturday (3 cases) at WMC by our dental staff at
WIHD.
