Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety is more common than you may think. Sedation dentistry can put patients at ease.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide also known as laughing gas is a safe and effective sedative agent to help calm a child’s fear of dental treatment. It is delivered through a mask over their nose, wears off quickly and decreases discomfort.
IV Sedation
Sedation is a technique to help guide a child’s behavior during dental treatment. It is used for children who have a high level of anxiety or those requiring extensive amounts of dental treatment. Sedation can also be helpful for those with special needs. IV Sedation is administered in our office with the guidance of a pediatric anesthesiologist. IV sedation can be used for those requiring extensive dental treatment. Since the child is asleep for treatment, we are able to complete all necessary treatment.
General Anesthesia
General Anesthesia may be recommended for children with extensive dental needs who are unable to cooperate for dental treatment, medically compromised or have special needs. General Anesthesia is administered at Joe DiMaggio Children’s hospital on an outpatient basis.
