Sleep Dentistry For Kids

How Sleep Dentistry Works

At Richmond Hill Kids Dentistry and Orthodontics, we offer general anesthesia both in our office and in a hospital setting at Mackenzie Health Hospital in Richmond Hill.

In either setting, your child's treatment will be performed by a pediatric dentist, and a certified anesthesiologist will provide the anesthesia and monitor your child throughout the procedure.

When done in the office, you will be billed by the anesthesiologist for the general anesthesia. When the anesthetic is provided at Mackenzie Health, the costs related to the provision of the anesthetic are covered under OHIP.
