Specialized Pediatric Dental Services in Sarasota, FL
Tailored Dental Solutions for Unique Pediatric Needs
Some children require more than routine dental care—and at Give Me A Smile Pediatric Dentistry, we’re equipped to meet those needs with safe, effective solutions. Our specialized pediatric services go beyond cleanings and exams to provide extra comfort, protection, and peace of mind for families across Sarasota and surrounding areas.
Whether your child plays contact sports, struggles with dental anxiety, or needs help managing teeth grinding at night, Dr. Jerry Chery offers personalized care using the latest techniques and child-friendly technology. These services are designed to support your child’s oral health and overall well-being—without stress or fear.
Pediatric Sedation with Nitrous Oxide
Dental anxiety is common among children—but it doesn’t have to keep them from getting the care they need. We offer nitrous oxide sedation, also known as "laughing gas," to help children stay relaxed during treatment.
This mild, fast-acting sedative is inhaled through a small mask and helps your child feel calm and at ease while remaining awake and responsive. It’s ideal for children who are nervous, have a strong gag reflex, or need multiple procedures in one visit. Best of all, the effects wear off quickly, so your child can return to normal activities shortly after the appointment.
Nitrous oxide can be used alongside restorative treatments, tooth extractions, or even dental cleanings for those who need extra support.
Custom Mouth Guards for Protection & Comfort
Mouth guards play an essential role in protecting your child’s smile from damage—whether from sports or nighttime grinding. We provide Occlusal & Sports Guards that are custom-fit to your child’s mouth for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
- Sports Mouth Guards help prevent dental injuries during physical activities like football, basketball, and martial arts.
- Occlusal Guards protect against bruxism (teeth grinding), which can wear down enamel and lead to jaw pain or headaches.
Unlike store-bought options, our professionally made guards are molded to your child’s unique bite and built from safe, durable materials. We often recommend these in combination with our preventative care services to protect your child’s teeth and jaw long-term.
