What Is Pediatric Dental Sedation?
Pediatric dental sedation is a safe method to help children relax during dental procedures. Sedation can reduce anxiety, increase comfort, and ensure that treatments are completed efficiently and effectively.
We prioritize conservative care and recommend sedation only when necessary to ensure your child’s well-being.
What is Sedation Dentistry or Sleep Dentistry?
The patient is given oral medication about one hour before your appointment. The medicine puts you in a light state of sedation and you sleep thru your dental appointment. It is Safe! When you awaken your dental treatment is completed.
You need someone to drive you to and from your appointment. Once you arrive, you are allowed to rest comfortably in a warm, quiet room under a cozy blanket. During the entire time you are here, we will closely monitor you to ensure your safety.
Complex dental treatments that often require six or more appointments can be done in as little as one!
