We also offer SEDATION DENTISTRY
Sedat
Children who are very young or who have a high level of anxiety that interferes with the cooperation necessary for the dentist to perform treatment may require some level of sedation. Sedation is also helpful for special needs children. There are many safe and effective drugs available today that can help relax the child and promote a good environment for optimal and safe dental treatment.
Deep sedation is sometimes necessary for children that are unable, by either age or maturity level, to cooperate during dental treatment. Our practice utilizes a certified anesthesiologist for cases where the patient may pose a threat to their own safety during treatment. This will be discussed with the parents/guardians of the patient before treatment to ensure the optimum beneficial outcome.
Sedation Dentistry is most helpful for:
-
Infants
-
Children who require major treatment
-
The very anxious child
-
Children that have had traumatic dental experiences (sound and smell aversion)
-
Children with a strong gag reflex
-
Children who are medically compromised or who are mentally handicapped
