Sedation Dentistry
Providing Safe and Pain-Free Treatment
To help your child feel at ease while receiving dental care, Healthcare Network offers sedation dentistry with a board-certified pediatric dentist who has a sedation license and a physician anesthesiologist when necessary.
Sedation services are fitting for pediatric patients who may suffer from severe dental anxiety, need several procedures to be done during a single visit, and/or have a medical, physical or emotional disability that limits their ability to understand directions and remain calm.

Joshua
A helpful response after
an unexpected accident
When Joshua knocked out his two adult front teeth, Healthcare Network’s dental team worked quickly to slip and secure Joshua’s teeth back into place.
In addition to our free-standing locations, we also have two mobile units that deliver primary dental care directly to children and families in Southwest Florida.
Healthcare Network’s Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® is a mobile pediatric office that, since 2004, has traveled to schools, community centers and neighborhoods to deliver dental and medical care to children in Collier County.
Services Include:
- Dental screenings
- Sealants
- Fluoride
- School medical physicals
- Head Start screenings
Visiting 14 Title 1 schools (those with a high percentage of students from low income families), as well as select after-school programs and a variety of family-oriented festivals, the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® is just one of the ways Healthcare Network is breaking barriers to healthcare in Collier County.
Astrid
A child with something to smile about
Healthcare Network’s Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® literally brings smiles to underserved children. For example, during a routine visit to a Collier County elementary school, the team met Astrid, an adorably sweet second grader.
Astrid was not eating well, and her teacher was concerned it might be because of her teeth. Her screening confirmed that Astrid had widespread tooth decay and infection.
The Healthcare Network staff immediately contacted Astrid’s family to devise a care plan. Her family was deeply upset to learn Astrid’s teeth were in such grave condition. They did not have access to insurance through their employers and were concerned they could not afford her care. Healthcare Network assured Astrid’s parents that, as a Healthcare Network patient, Astrid would receive the treatment she needed regardless of their uninsured status.
The staff then helped her family sign up for our Sliding Fee Program and apply for support from one of the assistance funds. Due to Astrid’s advanced dental decay, her extensive treatment plan required 18+ visits that included antibiotics to eliminate infection, x-rays, removal of all her baby teeth, which were decayed, and restoring/filling select permanent teeth. Her family never missed an appointment and, throughout it all, Astrid remained very brave.
Today, Astrid is smiling brighter and out of discomfort thanks to regular check-ups and cleanings.
