Frequently asked questions
We know sedation dentistry might seem a bit mysterious. Let's clear up some of the most common questions and concerns, so you can feel confident and informed about this option for your child.
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is like a cozy blanket and a soothing lullaby for your child’s dental visit. It’s a safe and gentle way to help your child relax and feel comfortable during their treatment. We use medications to create a “twilight sleep” where your child is still awake but super relaxed and won’t remember much about the procedure. It’s perfect for kids who feel a bit nervous about the dentist or need a little extra help staying still during treatment.
What types of sedation do you offer?
We offer a range of sedation options tailored to your child’s needs and anxiety level:
- Laughing gas (nitrous oxide): This mild sedation option helps your child feel relaxed and giggly, while still allowing them to respond to our instructions.
- Oral sedation: This involves taking a medication by mouth to induce a deeper state of relaxation. Your child may feel drowsy or even fall asleep during treatment.
- General anesthesia: This option is typically reserved for more complex procedures or for children with severe anxiety. It involves administering medication through an IV, causing your child to fall into a deep sleep.
Is sedation dentistry safe for my child?
Absolutely! We take every precaution to ensure your child’s safety and comfort during sedation. Our team is highly trained and experienced in administering sedation, and we utilize state-of-the-art monitoring equipment to keep a close eye on your child throughout the procedure.
How do I know which type of sedation is right for my child?
We’ll work with you to determine the best sedation option based on your child’s age, anxiety level, medical history, and the specific treatment they need. We’ll discuss all the options with you and answer any questions you may have, so you can feel confident in your choice.
What can I expect after my child's sedation appointment?
After the procedure, your child will need some time to recover from the sedation. We’ll monitor them closely and provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Most children feel back to normal within a few hours and can resume their regular activities the next day.
