In some cases, sedation may be recommended to ensure a safe and comfortable dental experience for your child.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry:
- Reduces Anxiety: Helps manage anxiety and fear in children during dental procedures.
- Enhances Safety: Can improve safety and comfort for complex procedures.
- Increases Efficiency: Allows for the completion of multiple procedures in a single visit.
- Positive Treatment Experience: Helps create a more positive and less traumatic dental experience for your child.
Sedation Options:
- Nitrous Oxide (In-Office):
- A mild sedative that helps children relax during dental procedures.
- Often referred to as "laughing gas," it typically does not cause sleep.
- Administered in our office by our trained staff.
- General Anesthesia (In-Hospital Setting):
- For more complex procedures, general anesthesia may be recommended.
- Administered by a qualified anesthesiologist in a hospital setting.
- Dr. Shah does not offer in-office general anesthesia or deep sedation.
Why We Choose In-Hospital Anesthesia:
- Enhanced Safety: Hospital settings provide a controlled environment with specialized equipment and trained professionals to monitor your child's vital signs throughout the procedure.
- Minimized Risks: In-hospital anesthesia minimizes potential risks associated with sedation.
Our Commitment to Safety:
At Pediatric Denticare, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our young patients. We believe that in-hospital anesthesia provides the safest and most appropriate option for procedures requiring deeper sedation.
