It’s natural for kids to feel a little nervous coming to the dentist. They may associate it with going to the doctor’s office when they were sick or needed a shot, or they may just feel shy or uncomfortable around new people and unfamiliar medical equipment. We understerstand! And we go to great lengths to ensure your child’s comfort.
Sedation may be offered if your child…
- …is very afraid of the dentist.
- …has difficulty sitting still.
- …is coming in for a lengthy procedure.
- …is coming in for multiple procedures.
- …has special needs.
Types of sedation for your child that the dentist may discuss with you include:
- Oral sedation – administered through the nose or mouth about 20 minutes prior to any dental work.
- Nitrous oxide – inhaled comfortably through a mask throughout the dental checkup or procedure.
- IV sedation – reserved for more complex cases; ask your dentist for details.
When administered by conscientious experts, dental sedation for children is very safe. We are more than happy to discuss all the details with you, answer any questions you may have, and address your concerns. We will also help you make a plan for preparation and after care if sedation will be used.
We’re looking forward to making your child’s next visit safe, relaxed, and happy!
