Medi-Cal dental care for Natomas families
Families from North Natomas, South Natomas, Del Paso Heights and West Sacramento choose our Natomas office for kind, patient dental care. We accept Medi-Cal for patients from infancy through age 20.
Every child is different. Some love the dentist from day one, and others need more time and reassurance. Our team adjusts each visit to what your child needs.
Care for kids with special needs and dental anxiety
Kids Dentist Plus treats patients with special health care needs and offers several ways to help anxious children feel calm and safe. Options may include:
- Tell-show-do: we explain each step, show the tools and then begin, so there are no surprises.
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): a mild, breathed-in sedative that helps children relax. It wears off quickly once the mask comes off.
When it's medically necessary, Medi-Cal can cover sedation for dental treatment. Some cases need approval from your child's dental plan first; we'll talk through the options with you and handle the approval paperwork.
