Sedation Dentistry for Kids!
Going to the dentist can be a really scary experience.
We want to make sure that fear isn’t keeping your child from important dental care decisions, which is why we offer sedation options to help them relax during treatment and keep their dental health smooth sailing.
Types of Sedation:

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Laughing gas is a type of gas that wears off very quickly once it stops being breathing in. It’s a minor sedation approach that will be felt just as quickly as it will be bounced out of.
Deep Sedation
IV sedation makes you feel sleepy and some patients have not remembered the procedure after it’s over. While the patient should not become unconscious, if they do it is possible for the dentist to easily wake the patient up.
Our team of professionals will monitor the sedative levels based on your little one and be sure they are right at ease and comfortable while in the chair.
Oral Conscious Sedation
The lightest form of sedation we offer. It’s an oral medication, such as Valium, to help you feel relaxed but awake. It is recommended for those with mild to moderate anxiety. You will remain conscious for the procedure, but any tension and anxiety will fade away. You will be able to talk on your own during the procedure as well.
