What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry helps reduce fear, anxiety, and nervousness during dental procedures. One of the most common options we offer is nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas.

Nitrous oxide is delivered through a small, comfortable nose mask that many children enjoy wearing. It helps children relax while remaining awake and responsive throughout their treatment.

Our pediatric dentists carefully monitor your child during the entire procedure, and parents are welcome to stay with their child whenever possible. Once treatment is complete, the effects wear off quickly, allowing your child to return to normal activities.

Is My Child a Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry may be recommended for children who:

• Experience dental anxiety or fear

• Feel nervous about dental treatment

• Have difficulty sitting through procedures

• Need extensive dental treatment

• Would benefit from a more comfortable dental experience

Our doctors will discuss your child’s individual needs and determine whether sedation dentistry is the best option.
