Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation
Nitrous oxide sedation is fast, gentle, and so effective that it has been used by dentists for over 100 years to soothe anxious patients of all ages. Your child will breathe in the odorless gas through a small nasal mask throughout their appointment, during which it will make them feel light, happy, and slightly numb all over. Another big advantage when using nitrous oxide is that once the mask is removed, a child will feel completely normal within minutes, able to quickly resume their regular day.
IV Sedation Dentistry
IV sedation involves administering a sedative directly into the bloodstream via an injection in the hand or arm. It’s typically recommended for children with moderate dental anxiety or those who need more extensive care. Once the sedative is flowing, a child will become deeply relaxed almost immediately, and we can adjust their sedation level in real-time to ensure they are completely comfortable at every moment.
Hospital & Operating Room Anesthesia
For children with special needs, or those who are extremely afraid of the dentist, we can provide a type of sedation that puts them to sleep and allows them to remain unconscious throughout their entire appointment. Afterward, they’ll wake up and not be able to remember a thing. Typically, this type of sedation is used in a hospital setting so we can monitor your child’s breathing and heart-rate at the same time to guarantee their safety.
