We want each of your child’s dental visits to be as enjoyable and stress-free as possible! Whether your little one is anxious or fearful of visiting the dentist, or requires special care, we provide safe sedation options to promote a positive and comfortable experience.
If you’re looking for pediatric dental sedation near you, we provide four different types of sedation for check-ups or dental procedures
With nitrous oxide inhalation, laughing gas is administered to your little one through a breathing mask to help him or her relax before a procedure or before receiving an IV.
Your child will remain conscious, and feel dreamy and tingly! Nitrous oxide eases anxiety and fear, is non-addictive, and leaves your child’s system after about 5 minutes of them breathing oxygen.
In-office conscious sedation involves the use of oral medications to help ease children’s anxiety and make them feel sleepy, without putting them to sleep.
Once the medication takes effect, your child will drift in and out of sleep, while remaining conscious. Your little one may feel the calming effects for up to 8 hours after the procedure.
We partner with PDAA, a qualified anesthesiology organization that sends a pediatric anesthesiologist, PICU nurse and EMT to our office to safely administer IV sedation. With IV sedation, your child will be in a deep sleep but will still be breathing on their own.
The effects of IV sedation may be felt up to 12 hours after the procedure.
If your child does not work well under conscious sedation or IV sedation, using general anesthesia in a hospital setting may be the best route to ease anxiety and ensure a successful dental procedure.
Your little will receive general anesthesia through an IV and will be completely asleep. The sedative will be administered at the hospital, by qualified specialists.
When you visit us, we can help you decide which sedation option is best suited for your child. If you have questions beforehand, please don’t hesitate to give us a call!
Starting with your little one’s very first tooth, our team is here to guide you through the smile milestones and provide expert dental care with a gentle and compassionate approach.
We want every visit to our office to feel like a Sunny Day! Contact us today to schedule your appointment.
