The Sedation Dentistry Process
Here’s what you can expect.
Pre-Treatment Consultation
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your child's medical history and anxiety levels to ensure a safe experience from beginning to end. Dr. Tiffany will explain your child’s sedation options, address concerns, and help you choose the most appropriate method.
Day of Treatment
On the day of your child’s treatment, we carefully administer the chosen sedation method. Our experienced team monitors your child closely throughout the treatment, ensuring their comfort and safety at all times.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, we provide aftercare instructions that include what you can expect after the sedation wears off. We monitor your child's recovery and ensure they're ready to go home. Feel free to reach out with any questions – we’re available for any questions or concerns you may have following treatment.
You have options
Sedation is not only a great stress reducer, it can be fun! Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that helps children relax during dental procedures. Your child can choose from our variety of sweet flavors. It’s safe, wears off quickly, and allows your child to remain awake and responsive. This option is ideal for children with mild anxiety or for shorter procedures.
For children with severe anxiety, special needs, or extensive dental work, we offer general anesthesia. This method puts your child into a deep sleep, ensuring they feel no pain or anxiety during the procedure. We partner with highly trained pediatric anesthesiologists to administer and monitor the anesthesia in a hospital setting, prioritizing your child's safety. If you think your child might benefit from general anesthesia, let's discuss this option in detail during a consultation.
For children who require additional support, we offer various sedation options, from mild nitrous oxide to general anesthesia. Our sedation services are provided with the utmost care and safety, always tailored to your child's specific needs. We'll thoroughly discuss all options with you to determine the best approach for your child.
For anxious children or complex procedures, we offer safe sedation options. From nitrous oxide to general anesthesia, we'll find the right level of sedation for your child's comfort and safety. Let's discuss which sedation option might be best for your child's needs.
