Some children are comfortable in the dental chair, while others need a little extra support. For children who are anxious, very young, need longer treatment, or have difficulty coping, sedation can help make treatment safe, calm, and stress-free.
She always chooses the least invasive option that meets your child's needs and guides you through every step, so you feel confident and informed.
Your options
Helps children relax and feel more comfortable during treatment. Your child stays awake, can communicate throughout the visit, and the effects wear off within minutes after the gas is stopped.
For children who need extensive treatment, are very young, highly anxious, medically compromised, or unable to tolerate treatment awake, general anesthesia allows treatment to be completed in a fully monitored setting.
Common questions
Is sedation safe for children?
Yes. Your child is carefully assessed beforehand, and sedation is provided with appropriate monitoring throughout treatment.
Will my child be asleep?
With laughing gas, no. Your child stays awake, responsive, and able to communicate. General anesthesia is a deeper level of sedation reserved for situations where it is the safest and most appropriate option.
How do I know which option is right for my child?
Every child is different. She considers your child's age, needs, treatment required, and comfort level, then discusses the best option with you.
