Sedation Dentistry: Helping Children Receive Optimal Dental Care

For children who are very young or suffer from high levels of dental anxiety, sedation dentistry may be necessary to ensure they receive safe and effective dental treatment. Our practice offers a range of sedation options to accommodate children of all ages and needs.

Conscious Sedation for Mildly Apprehensive Children

For children who are older and experience mild dental anxiety, conscious sedation may be an option. This highly effective method can be administered orally or through nitrous oxide (N20-02) inhalation.

Deep Sedation for Children Who Cannot Cooperate
During Treatment

In cases where a child is unable to cooperate during dental treatment due to their age or maturity level, our practice may utilize deep sedation. This option will be discussed with the parent(s)/guardian(s) prior to treatment to ensure the best possible outcome.
