Types of Pediatric Sedation We Offer
NITROUS OXIDE/ OXYGEN
Nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation commonly known as laughing gas. It helps children relax during their dental treatment without putting them to sleep. The effects wear off quickly, allowing your child to return to their normal activities after the visit. Nitrous oxide is safe and effective for reducing anxiety and creating a positive dental experience.
ORAL CONSCIOUS SEDATION
For children who need more help relaxing, oral conscious sedation can be used. This involves giving your child a liquid sedative to help them feel calm but stay awake during the dental procedure. It’s ideal for children who may be more anxious or need extensive restorative dental treatment, ensuring they remain comfortable.
GENERAL ANESTHESIA
For children who require extensive dental work or have special needs, general anesthesia may be the best option. General anesthesia allows your child to be completely sleep during their procedure, ensuring they feel no discomfort. This option is typically reserved for cases where other sedation methods are not sufficient.
