Why Parents Trust Toothbeary’s IV Sedation

At Toothbeary, every child’s smile — and every parent’s peace of mind — matters to us. Dental visits can sometimes feel daunting for little ones, especially when treatment is complex or anxiety is high. That’s why we offer gentle intravenous (IV) sedation, carefully tailored to children’s needs.

But don’t just take our word for it. Between January 2023 and September 2024, we reviewed over 1,000 IV sedation treatments carried out at Toothbeary to learn more about our patients’ experiences and their families’ satisfaction. The results made us smile just as much as our patients do.

Families Feel Reassured

One of the most important findings from our review was the incredible level of parental satisfaction. 99.9% of families said they were either “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their child’s sedation experience at Toothbeary.

Parents told us they valued:

• The warm, supportive approach of our team

• The clear communication before, during, and after treatment

• The way we made both children and parents feel calm and reassured

• The smooth recovery process and aftercare

This feedback reflects the trust parents place in us to care for their children in a safe, welcoming environment.

Children’s Comfort Comes First

From the moment families walk through our doors, our focus is on making children feel secure. Parents are invited to be present during the early stages of sedation, helping their child feel comforted and supported. Recovery takes place in a calm space, with continuous monitoring and a caring nurse on hand until every child is fully alert and comfortable.

Safe Care, Happy Families

Safety underpins everything we do. In our review, there were no serious complications across all 1,000 cases, and only a very small number of minor side effects, such as brief dips in oxygen or mild sickness. Families were reassured to know that their children were continuously monitored by a medically trained sedationist with anaesthetic experience, supported by our highly skilled dental and nursing team.

This combination of safety and comfort is exactly why parents report such high satisfaction.

A Partnership With Parents

At Toothbeary, we believe successful treatment is a partnership. We make sure parents feel fully informed, listened to, and supported before, during, and after their child’s care. The near-universal positive feedback from families shows how much this matters.

Smiles All Around

Our review confirms what we see every day in practice: when children feel cared for and parents feel reassured, dental treatment becomes a positive experience.

With 99.9% parental satisfaction, we are proud to know that families trust Toothbeary not just for expert treatment, but for the safe, compassionate environment we create.

At the end of the day, our biggest success is measured in happy smiles and happy families.
