Hospital-Level Safety, Without the Hospital Experience

Bubble is fully licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to provide general anesthesia right here in our office— a service that traditionally required a hospital visit.

That means your child can receive hospital-grade anesthesia care:

• In a familiar, child-friendly environment

• Without the stress or fear of a hospital setting

• With the same safety standards used in operating rooms

All anesthesia services are provided and closely monitored by Dr. Nirmal Gosalia, MD, a Harvard-trained physician anesthesiologist who brings extensive hospital experience directly to Bubble.

Sedation Options Designed for Kids

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide is a safe and gentle option often used for:

• Cleanings
• Fillings
• Sealants
• Short or simple procedures

Your child breathes the gas through a small nose mask and quickly begins to feel relaxed and calm while staying awake and responsive. Once the mask is removed, the effects wear off quickly, and most children feel back to themselves shortly after the visit.

General Anesthesia (Your Child Is Fully Asleep)

General anesthesia may be recommended when:

• Multiple teeth need treatment
• A longer or more complex procedure is needed
• A child has significant anxiety or fear
• A child is very young
• A child has special healthcare needs

While your child is asleep, all dental treatment can be completed in one visit, including X-rays, cleanings, fillings, and crowns — without pain, fear, or memory of the procedure.

Many parents choose general anesthesia not only for medical reasons, but because it helps protect their child from dental trauma and supports a more positive relationship with dental care moving forward.

What to Expect on the Day of Treatment

We take a calm, thoughtful approach every step of the way:

• Your child’s medical history is carefully reviewed in advance
• Gentle medication is given to help your child relax before falling asleep
• Once asleep, Dr. Gosalia focuses exclusively on monitoring your child’s breathing and vital signs
• Our pediatric dental team completes all treatment efficiently and safely
• Your child is closely monitored during recovery before going home

Throughout the entire process, your child is cared for by a dedicated team whose sole focus is safety, comfort, and peace of mind.
