Sedation Options

Pediatric dentists are highly experienced in providing children with the best possible care during a dental appointment. They understand the importance of creating a comfortable environment and often offer various sedation options to ensure that their patients feel relaxed and safe during any required dental procedures. In order to guarantee a successful dental visit, our pediatric dentists are proud to offer sedation options such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) depending on the age and procedure of each patient. We understand the importance of optimal oral health in children’s lives and we strive to provide safe yet effective options that can help them get there.

The experts at Children’s Dentistry of Abilene understand how important it is to provide gentle and comfortable care for our young patients. You can count on us to provide safe and effective sedation options that are tailored specifically for your child.

Nitrous Oxide

Many parents go through the same concerns when it comes to their child’s dental appointments. Will they be able to stay still long enough for the procedure? Will they feel anxious or scared? Fortunately, nitrous oxide can help make these appointments a breeze! Often referred to as ‘laughing gas,’ this mild sedative. It helps to reduce dental anxiety, relax muscles and make your child feel more at ease during their appointment.

What Happens With Nitrous Oxide Sedation?

Nitrous oxide induces sleepiness and relaxation in children. Though they are semi-conscious, your child will still be aware of what’s going on; thus feeling dreamy, floaty, and warm with tingling sensations in their hands and feet. They might become a bit forgetful as well and the procedure may not register to them after it ends. Sedation is an important tool that can help ensure a better quality of care for children during their dental appointments. 

Through the use of sedatives, pediatric dentists can provide a more comfortable and less stressful environment for their young patients. This can be especially beneficial for children who may be particularly anxious about going to the dentist or those who need lengthy procedures. With the help of sedation, children will be more likely to get the care they need and develop healthy oral hygiene.

Importance Of Choosing A Professional Pediatric Dentistry

Quality dental care is important for everyone and starting early is key to building a foundation for healthy habits. This is why it is important to choose a professional pediatric dentist that specializes in caring for children and offers sedation. Having the right professionals and the right equipment is a must for safe and effective dental treatments.
