Sedation
Sedation Treatment
Behavior management is at the center of our approach to ensuring your child’s pleasant experience. We offer a variety of sedation treatment options based on your child’s individual needs.
Sedation dentistry uses medication to manage pain and anxiety during pediatric dental care. Sedation dentistry can help your child feel more relaxed during dental procedures. It can also reduce your child’s anxiety levels and allow him or her to receive the dental care he or she needs in a comfortable environment.
The type of sedation used will depend on your individual needs and preferences.
Local Anesthesia
Many restorative procedures can be performed with local anesthesia, commonly referred to as Novocaine, even though Lidocaine, Mepivicain, and Articaine are more often used.
All these drugs numb the area where the work will be performed and wear off within a few hours.
Nitrous Oxide
Many restorative procedures can be performed with local anesthesia, commonly referred to as Novocaine, even though Lidocaine, Mepivicain, and Articaine are more often used. All these drugs numb the area where the work will be performed and wear off within a few hours.
IV Sedation
We also offer in-office IV sedation in cases where the work is extensive or the child does not do well with conscious sedation.
Note: please inform us of any change to your child’s health or medical condition before your appointment.
