Dental Sedation for Children and Teens

We understand that not all children react the same way when visiting the dentist. Our goal is to help decrease that anxiety and to help your child feel more comfortable when visiting our dental clinic. Each type of sedation we offer works differently on each child. We provide multiple sedation options and we can discuss and recommend the most suitable type of sedation based on the child’s needs. Our primary goal is to treat your child in a safe environment while maximizing their comfort. Not all children require sedation, but it can be a valuable option for the right candidates. We have the training, capacity, and equipment to provide all types of sedation, including; laughing gas, oral sedation, and sleep dentistry. We will discuss the right option for your child during the consultation appointment. 

Is Sedation Safe for Children?


In a short answer... yes

The risk of anything catastrophic happening is exceptionally low, even lower than the chance of getting struck by lightning. Healthy patients who receive sedation dentistry in a dental office seem to be at no higher risk than those that receive treatment in a hospital. For the small percentage of patients who may be at high risk for possible complications, we will discuss alternative options. Patient safety is our utmost priority!
