As a board certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Garrett has extensive training and experience specific to children, including advanced diagnostic and surgical procedures, as well as pharmacology and general anesthesia. Special needs patients are welcome, as are trauma and emergency patients. Treatment can be provided in a hospital setting, if necessary.

Dr. Garrett always is eager to examine new patients and consult with families in his Sacramento office.

Cavities should be addressed, regardless of age. Dr. Garrett will explain filling options personally. Pulp therapy (pulpotomy), also called “children’s root canal” or “nerve treatment,” can be needed after a traumatic injury, or as a result of a cavity. The goal is to save the tooth. Crown options vary, and Dr. Garrett expertly works with zirconium crowns, among others. The comfort and safety of patients is always the priority. Nitrous oxide is a safe alternative to local anesthesia.
