Meet The Team

Sedating a child for dental work is a medical job, and we treat it that way. Our center is built around a simple principle: the person doing the dental treatment should not be the same person managing your child's anesthesia.

At Pediatric Sedation Centers of GA, Dr. Todd Asarch handles the dental work while a physician anesthesiologist (an MD) manages your child's sedation from start to finish. One doctor stays focused on your child's airway, breathing, and vital signs. The other focuses on the dental treatment. Two doctors, each with one job to concentrate on.

We have three physician anesthesiologists on our team, and between them they bring decades of hospital and surgical anesthesia experience into an office setting built for children. You can read more about how a sedation visit works on our sedation services page. Below is the team that will care for your child.
