With dental sedation, your child feels entirely calm and easy, enabling them to go through the dental visit in a much better way. It helps parents reduce the risks and stress level for their child before, during and after the treatment and get the best dental care for their little ones.
If you think sedation dentistry may be right for your child, call LuxDen Kids to learn more about it and schedule an appointment today.
Sedation dentistry helps people, particularly children, stay calm and relaxed during complex or surgical procedure. It can range from nitrous oxide (also called laughing gas) to oral sedatives and general anesthesia depending on the level of anxiety of patient and the complexity of procedure.
If your child has severe dental anxiety, a gag reflex, or special needs, the dentist may use sedation to help your child stay comfortable during treatment. Your dentist may recommend sedation to minimize discomfort and make the process easier if your child has to go through a long or involved dental procedure.
Yes. Both the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists have authorized the use of sedation dentistry. They have verified it to be a safe, effective way to keep young patients comfortable during dental treatment. Sedation dentistry has revolutionized the industry and changed people’s view of dentistry forever.
Sedation makes your child feel relaxed, washing away all their fears.
We administer the correct dosage of the sedative so your child does not feel any pain or discomfort during the treatment. Our trained pediatric sedation dentists know what it takes to ensure a pain-free treatment experience for your child.
Effects of sedatives vary, depending on the type of sedation your pediatric dentist uses. Nitrous oxide wears off within a few minutes after the mask is removed and your child will return to their normal self almost immediately after treatment. Oral sedation usually lasts a couple of hours, and your child will gradually return to their normal energy levels.
General anesthesia wears off shortly after the procedure is over but your child may feel a little groggy after the treatment. Before administering any sedative to your child, the pediatric sedation dentist will talk to you about the process and pre and post-sedation instructions.
If you have any questions about sedation dentistry or want to know how it can make dental treatments for your child far more pleasant and bearable, don’t hesitate to reach out. Call now to find out how sedation pediatric dentistry can help your child and what we can do for you.
Every child deserves a beautiful, healthy smile and at LuxDen Kids, our mission is to help our young patients achieve one.
