Call us right away if your child experiences:
-
Tooth pain
-
A broken or chipped tooth

Dental trauma from a fall or accident

Swelling or infection
We’ll do everything we can to see your child quickly and ease everyone’s worries.
Sedation Dentistry
Gentle Care for Nervous Smiles
It’s completely normal for kids to feel nervous about dental visits — especially if they’re very young or need more complex treatment. That’s why we offer safe, pediatric sedation options to help children relax.
Options may include:
-
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for gentle relaxation
-
Deeper sedation for more complex cases
Dr. Ryan and our team will talk you through every step so you feel confident and calm.
Special Needs Dentistry
Extra Gentle Care for Every Child
Every child deserves excellent dental care — no matter their unique needs. Dr. Ryan has years of experience helping children with:
-
Autism spectrum disorders
-
Sensory sensitivities
-
Developmental or physical disabilities
-
Anxiety and medical conditions
We adapt our approach to make visits as comfortable as possible, because all children deserve a smile they love.
Habit Counseling
Helping Kids Break Bad Habits
Thumb sucking, pacifier use, and other habits are normal for young kids — but sometimes they stick around longer than they should.
We offer gentle guidance to help children break habits that can affect:
-
Teeth alignment
-
Speech development
-
Jaw growth
Let’s work together to keep little smiles growing straight and healthy!
Digital X-Rays
Safe, Modern Imaging for Tiny Smiles
Dental x-rays help us see things we can’t spot with the eye — like cavities between teeth, missing teeth, or growing adult teeth under the gums.
At Sawgrass Pediatric Dentistry, we use advanced digital x-rays that:
-
Minimize radiation exposure
-
Produce clear images in seconds
-
Help diagnose and plan treatment quickly
Your child’s safety and comfort always come first.
