Sedation Dentistry Q & A
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is the administration of certain sedatives that help fearful or anxious children cope with their anxieties during dental treatments. It can be used to help the team at Dental Kidz Club give your child effective dental care for a wide variety of procedures, from more complex and invasive to simple teeth cleanings. Sedation dentistry also helps keep nervous or fidgety children still during their treatments, enabling your child’s dentist to provide safer and better care.
Is sedation dentistry safe for my child?
The caring team at Dental Kidz Club has successfully treated children with sedation dentistry for various dental procedures, all of which are conducted safely and effectively. They’re deeply skilled in treating their sedation patients with extra care and attention and make sure to monitor their wellness throughout the entire procedure.
Your child's well-being is the utmost priority of everyone at Dental Kidz Club. While there are other sedation methods available generally, like IV and oral sedation, Dental Kidz Club believes that nitrous oxide is the safest method, which is why this is the only option they offer.
What sedation dentistry options are available?
Dental Kidz Club offers nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, to help ease dental anxiety in children during their visit.
Nitrous oxide is a conscious sedative that’s been safely used in dentistry for over a century. It makes your child relaxed without putting them to sleep and is administered through a mask worn over the nose throughout the entire procedure.
Nitrous oxide takes only a few minutes to start working, at which point your child will feel calmer and happy. It wears off almost immediately, so there’s no downtime after the procedure.
It's natural for a child to feel nervous about sedation, but you can help make the experience easier for them by explaining what they can expect on the day of the procedure and making sure that their airways are clear. If your child has allergies or a blocked nose, decongestants and allergy medicine can help them breathe more easily.
The team at Dental Kidz Club will work with you and your child to help them feel comfortable and address their individual psychological, emotional, and dental needs. If you’d like to learn more or schedule an appointment, call today.
