Sedation Dentistry

We provide Pediatric Oral sedation for patients who may feel more nervous or anxious about their dental treatment. Sedation is helpful for patients with a more sensitive gag reflex or undergoing a more lengthy procedure. Sedation is also beneficial for children with minimal anxiety, providing your child with a more pleasant dental experience when having dental treatment performed. Pediatric Oral sedation is performed by administering medication by mouth and then allowing time for the medication to take effect. After the desired level of relaxation, we perform the dental treatment. Parents can be present during the entire procedure to ensure their child is safe and having a good experience.

Oral Sedation and Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, can be used alone for older children with minimal levels of anxiety about undergoing dental treatment. Nitrous oxide is administered through a mask, and the effects of the gas wear off soon after the patient is no longer breathing the gas.

Our dentists at Little Dental Pediatric Dentistry will discuss with you what level of pediatric sedation is best for your child during your appointment sessions with us.
