Your Child Will Relax With Our Dental Sedation Options
Many kids get nervous when it comes to visiting the dentist. If they’re facing a dental emergency, their anxiety may be even worse. Fortunately, the team at Evergreen Pediatric & Airway Dentistry will help your child relax with our dental sedation options. We offer two great methods of sedation that will ease your little one’s anxiety and help them get the treatment they need. Their sedation choices are detailed below:
- Inhaled Sedation – We’ll administer sweet-smelling laughing gas through a comfortable mask over your child’s nose. It is safe and gentle enough for children and will help them relax during their treatment. In moments after breathing in the gas, your child will begin to feel light and slightly euphoric. This sedative effective will help them forget about being nervous so they can lie back comfortably while we work.
- General Anesthesia – If your little one experiences more intense dental anxiety or needs to undergo an extended procedure, you may consider this sedation option. A medical anesthesiologist will administer this anesthesia, which will put your child in a sleep-like state. They’ll be completely unaware of any of the experiences of their exam or procedure. We’ll wake them up when we’re finished and they’ll have no memory of their dental work.
Put your child’s smile in our competent hands. Call us now for any dental emergencies in Kirkland: 425-814-3196. For non-emergency needs, you can also schedule online.

Read Why Our Patients Love Us
“I took my daughter to Evergreen Pediatric & Airway Dentistry twice and had very good experience. Dr. Susan Kim and her assistants are super patient and nice to children. They explained to my daughter how the appliances work by personification. For example, the brush is Mr. Itchy and the straw which sucks water is Mr. Thirsty. They make sure that my daughter understands everything and is well prepared before operating, so that she won’t be afraid. And they gave her toys and stickers as a reward every time. My daughter said she liked this dentistry and I do recommend it to those who have children. Most importantly, for any procedures they would take to my kid, they show much considerations to double confirm how much the cost are covered by insurance provider to get a final reasonable treatment plan with the least cost. Very professional and patients friendly. Solid 5 star recommendation.”

Common Questions About Dental Emergencies
Can you help with my child’s dental emergency?
Over more than two decades of dental practice, Dr. Susan has helped countless children with dental emergencies. You can rest confidently in her skills and expertise to help make your child’s smile right. Our top-notch dental team delivers compassionate and gentle care and will make sure your little one receives the best treatment possible during their dental crisis.
What are common dental emergencies that kids have?
There are few emergencies that Dr. Susan hasn’t seen in her many years of practice. Some are certainly more common than others. Emergencies that we see often include toothaches caused by a cavity or an infection, cracked teeth, and broken teeth. In most cases, we’re able to resolve all these situations with restorative dentistry.
Can I take my child to the ER for dental emergencies?
Yes, you can. However, since they don’t have dentists on staff, your child won’t be able to get a tooth filling, pulpotomy, extraction, or other dental procedure. If they have an infection, the ER can provide antibiotics to keep it under control until they can see us. ER doctors may also be able to prescribe pain-relieving medication that is stronger than an over-the-counter medication.
What if I have a dental emergency without insurance?
Just because you don’t have dental insurance doesn’t mean you shouldn’t receive the same level of care as someone who does. We’ll happily treat your dental emergency, and we provide several payment options to take care of the cost, including third-party financing through CareCredit. We’ll do our best to make sure you get the care you need.
