At Kool Koala Pediatric and Adolescent Dentistry, we recognize that not all children can comfortably receive dental care in a traditional setting. For kids with unique needs, our team offers safe and compassionate pediatric hospital dentistry at our surgical centers.
As one of the few pediatric practices in the New Jersey and Delaware areas to provide this service, we specialize in treating children who require additional care to ensure a smooth and stress-free dental experience. Our goal is to create a positive, supportive environment for your child, eliminating fear and building a foundation for lifelong dental health.

General anesthesia can be a helpful option for children who need significant dental work or who experience high anxiety during treatment. Under general anesthesia, your child will be in a deep sleep, free from pain or movement, ensuring a safe and comfortable procedure. The anesthesia is administered by a trained anesthesiologist or dental anesthesiologist who monitors your child’s health and safety throughout the procedure.
Preparing your child for general anesthesia involves following the instructions provided by our pediatric dentists, the surgical center’s nursing staff, and your child’s primary care physician. Before the procedure, explain it to your child in simple, reassuring language, helping them understand what to expect. After the procedure, your child will need to rest at home for the day and should be ready to resume normal activities the next day.

We work closely with you and your child’s primary care provider to ensure the safest possible experience, whether your child’s dental needs are preventive, restorative, or extensive.
At Kool Koala Pediatric and Adolescent Dentistry, we’re committed to making dental care accessible and stress-free for all children. If you believe hospital dentistry might be the right option for your child, we invite you to schedule a consultation.
With offices across New Jersey and Delaware, we proudly offer advanced pediatric dental services tailored to meet the unique needs of our young patients.
