Are you concerned with the use of dental sedation for your child? Many parents have the same concern. But don't worry, it is safe to use dental sedation for children in most cases. Smiles Ahead Family Dentistry is here to take care of your entire family's dental issues.
Laughing gas is a mild sedative that will make your children feel relaxed and that keeps them very safe. A mask will be placed for the procedure, which carries oxygen with the medication during the process. This will give your child a happy feeling.Â
Oral sedatives are used through the mouth or nose that will make your child a little dizzy. The medicine usually takes 20 minutes to work. Oral sedation also keeps your child relaxed. Make sure you accompany your child throughout the appointment.
Intravenous sedation or IV sedation is usually taken through a vein in the arm or hands of your child. The best thing about IV sedation is that the dentist can give the medicine according to the procedure’s length and the time taken. There are many things to be done before IV sedation, like following strict eating and drinking rules. We will inform you about all these on the day before your appointment.Â
There are a few things you can do at home before the procedure to ensure your child has the best possible experience by preparing them for their dentist’s visit.
