I am very afraid of sedating a child for dental procedure. I had discussed several times with dr hoang. Dr hoang explained and offer me several options including no sedation at all. He showed me what will kid looks like after sedation in the video and he was transparent about the med and dosage that he will give to my 4 yrs old if I chose to sedate. I kept thinking for quite a long time, at the end I chose no sedation at all for my 4 yrs old. Dr hoang can work with what I feel comfortable including no sedation. I was preparing my 4 yrs old at home few weeks prior the procedure by telling him what will happen and how he will feel during the procedure. We did pretend play at home. On the day of the procedure, the staff in the office were very friendly and nice. With the movie we chose to watch,it creates a relax atmosphere. Dr hoang talk to my son in the way 4 yrs old can understand. Before he does anything he will let my son know ahead. he let my 4 yrs old to feel the tool by suction the chin, by feeling the mist from water flushing, and by listening to the drilling sound before he actually works on his teeth. He allow me to stay next to my 4 yrs old so my little boy knows that I am there with him. He had 1 assistant to secure the head, 1 to suction, and 1 to help passing tools. Everything just well prepare. I was expecting my child will cry and scream but he was prepared what to expect and he was told ahead by every thing he will feel. Surprisely, he stay still entirely letting dr hoang work on his teeth. He was steady and calm. The entire procedure went very well. It is very well organized, doctor and assistants handle each step very professionally. As a mother, i am very please. I feel very safe for my kid. I have to say he is the best pediatric dentist in the San Gabriel valley I ever met. This experience is totally different than my previous pediatric dentists. My 3 children are seeing him for 3 years, I am very thankful to found dr hoang to be our pediatric dentist. Very very good doctor and team work : )
