Capital Pediatric Dentistry is a Sacramento, California dental practice providing comprehensive care for infants, children ages 0–9, and patients with special healthcare needs. Led by Dr. David Crippen, the practice supports children from their first dental visit through restorative and surgical procedures, with particular expertise in pediatric dental sedation. The team offers sedation for children who experience anxiety, have difficulty sitting through treatment, or need extensive dental work, aiming to make care comfortable and, when appropriate, complete multiple treatments in one visit.

The office is specifically equipped for children’s IV sedation, with a separate recovery room and an emergency generator. Staff monitor patients’ vital signs during procedures and accommodate children with physical, medical, developmental, or cognitive needs, including autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Crippen holds a California moderate sedation permit with pediatric endorsements and is certified in Pediatric Advanced Life Support. First visits include a discussion of oral habits, an examination of teeth and soft tissues, and digital X-rays when needed.
