Nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation that helps children relax during dental procedures. It is administered through a small mask placed over the nose, and the effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed. Nitrous oxide is ideal for children who may feel anxious or uneasy in the dental chair.
- Safe and effective for children
- Quick onset and recovery
- Helps reduce anxiety and discomfort
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves giving your child a prescribed medication to take before their appointment. This type of sedation helps children remain calm and relaxed throughout their visit. It is commonly used for children who require a bit more assistance staying comfortable during longer or more complex procedures.
- Provides deeper relaxation than nitrous oxide
- Helps children with dental anxiety
- Allows for easier completion of necessary treatments
IV Sedation
IV sedation is administered through a vein, allowing for precise control over the level of sedation. This option is typically reserved for children with special needs or those who require extensive dental work. IV sedation allows children to remain deeply relaxed and unaware of the procedure, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience.
- A deeper level of sedation for more complex treatments
- Constant monitoring for safety
- Recommended for children with severe anxiety or special needs
General Anesthesia
For certain cases, general anesthesia may be required to complete necessary dental treatments. This option is only provided in a hospital setting under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. General anesthesia allows children to sleep through the procedure, ensuring their comfort and safety.
- Used for extensive dental work or complex cases
- Provided in a safe hospital environment
- Ideal for children who cannot tolerate other forms of sedation
