Sedation dentistry is a wonderful choice for children who feel anxious or nervous about their dental treatment. Sedation dentistry involves using a sedative medication to help you feel more relaxed and calm during your visit. There are several types of sedation dentistry available based on your individual needs and preferences:
- Nitrous oxide (N2O), also known as laughing gas. Nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation that wears off within just a few minutes after we stop the flow of gas.
- Oral sedation, which involves your child taking an oral medication before the treatment. By the time of your appointment, they will feel calm and at ease.
- IV general sedation, which involves administering sedative medication intravenously (through the veins). This method of delivery enables our pediatric dentist to provide the sedation more quickly, as well as to easily control the level of sedation to ensure that your child stays comfortable.
Sedation dentistry can help your child feel more comfortable during his or her treatment. Our experienced pediatric dentist and team will ensure that your child’s entire treatment is safe. Each member of our team is highly trained, and we will carefully monitor your child during his or her visit.
