Sedation Dentistry
At our practice, we understand that visiting the dentist can be a stressful experience for some children. That's why we offer sedation dentistry options to help make their visit more comfortable and relaxed.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective sedative agent that is combined with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask. This gentle sedative can help reduce anxiety and minimize discomfort during dental procedures. We offer several scented masks, such as cherry, bubble gum, grape, and orange, to make the experience more pleasant for your child.Oral Conscious Sedation: For children who require a stronger form of sedation, oral conscious sedation or "oral sedation" may be recommended. Our pediatric dentist will provide a liquid medication that your child will need to drink before their dental procedure. This type of sedation can help enhance cooperation and reduce anxiety and discomfort related to dental treatment.
General Anesthesia: In some cases, general anesthesia may be necessary for young children who have a high level of anxiety or require special care. This type of sedation is typically recommended for children with extensive decay. General anesthesia involves putting your child to sleep entirely, allowing us to perform all necessary dental procedures in a safe and controlled environment.
At our practice, we are committed to providing safe and effective sedation dentistry options that meet the unique needs of your child. Our experienced team of dental professionals will work with you and your child to develop a personalized treatment plan that ensures their comfort and wellbeing throughout the entire process.
