3. Moderate Sedation - A Combination of Nitrous Oxide and Oral Sedative
Your Child "No Longer" has to suffer from Dental Anxiety and Dental Fear!
They can stay calm, comfortable and in control with Sedation Dentistry.
• Is your child afraid of going to the dentist?
• Has it been a long time since your child's last dental appointment?
• Does your child have sensitive teeth or gums?
• Is your child immune to traditional methods of numbing techniques?
If you answered "Yes" then dental sedation may be for your child.
Your child is a candidate for Sedation Dentistry if:
• They get anxious when someone even mentions "The Dentist"
• Have had previous traumatic dental experiences
• Bad gag reflex
• Complex dental problems
• A fear of needles and shots
• A hatred of noises, smells, and tastes associated with dental care
Is your child embarrassed to smile or open their mouth because of the long term affects of years of avoiding the dental office due to fear? Our sedation dentistry techniques can help diminish and even eliminate your anxiety and fear.
Sedation Dentistry allows even the most fearful children to get comfortable dental care and experience restored chewing, improved appearance, an end to embarrassment, and an increase in self-confidence. Because of proven success, sedation dentistry is the answer to dental fear.
Simply put, sedation dentistry is using a combination of techniques that safely and comfortably allow your child to virtually "snooze" through your dental visit. It is a real breakthrough and we offer both oral sedation dentistry and IV intravenous sedation dentistry techniques here at our office.
Conscious Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is an effective solution for most people who fear the dentist and have a moderate amount of dental anxiety. It is a low cost method that is safe and is as easy as swallowing a pill. The overall effect is not as profound as IV intravenous sedation, but for most people, there will be enough relaxation with little recollection of the dental procedure. The most common medication for adult oral sedation is Halcion and the most common for children is Versed.
