So if you’re looking for a way to make your child’s next dentist visit easier, consider sedation dentistry!
Inhalation sedation, also known as laughing gas (nitrous oxide), is the most common type of pediatric dental sedation. It is a safe and effective way to help your child relax during dental procedures.
Oral sedation is another option that can be used for children who are anxious about dental procedures. Oral sedation can be administered with different medications. The medications and related dosages used by BCC Pediatric Dentistry are individualized for each child.
IV sedation is another type of pediatric dental sedation. It is administered by a pediatric dental anesthesiologist. IV sedation is preferred for extensive dental treatments for children who are very anxious, fearful, or have special needs. In most cases, IV sedation can be performed in the office avoiding the need to go to the hospital. During IV sedation, you can stay with your child up to the moment when they are sedated and ready for their dental procedure.
Hospital dentistry and hospital general anesthesia are recommended for children with some underlying medical condition that requires the child to be admitted to the hospital where other services are available if needed.
