WhatFamilies Say
We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care our daughter received from Dr. Brooke Maryak and the team with Pediatric Dental Anesthesia Associates (PDAA). Following a significant dental injury, our daughter has undergone several complex procedures with St. Johns Endodontics. We were so thankful that Dr.
Dr. Janik was wonderful! From the moment we booked the appointment, he personally called to introduce himself and walked us through the process step by step. During the appointment, he made sure my niece felt comfortable and kept both me and her mom informed about everything that was happening.
The team at PDAA was incredibly patient and compassionate with my daughter throughout her appointment. She was very anxious, and they gave her the time, understanding, and reassurance she needed to feel comfortable.

When Might Your Child Need Dental Sedation?
Every child is different. For some, traditional dental appointments can be overwhelming or difficult to complete. Sedation or general anesthesia may be considered for children who:
- Experience significant dental fear or anxiety
- Need multiple procedures or extensive dental treatment
- Have difficulty remaining still during treatment
- Have special healthcare or behavioral needs
- Have been unable to complete treatment during previous dental visits
Our teams can help determine whether anesthesia-assisted dental care is appropriate for your child.
