Kids Plus Pediatric Dentistry offers sedation dentistry for young patients. Sedation dentistry helps children receive dental treatment who otherwise would not receive it. There are different options for sedation dentistry that can be used to help apprehensive children relax and allow your dentist to restore their mouth to a healthy state. After an initial examination, your pediatric sedation dentist at Kids Plus will discuss the different options.
If a child is worried by the sights, sounds, or sensations of dental treatment, they may respond more positively with the use of nitrous oxide/oxygen. Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen can reduce anxiety and gagging in children and make appointments easier. The child remains fully conscious during treatment. Recovery after treatment is rapid and complete. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is not effective for children who are congested or will not breathe through their nose.

General anesthesia is an induced state of unconsciousness. In practical terms, the patient is asleep and does not respond to touch or voices. It is most often recommended for very young children with extensive treatment needs and/or an inability to communicate and cooperate. Sometimes it may also be the best way to provide treatment for children with special medical/developmental needs. All parents should know that children face the same risks of general anesthesia for dental treatment as for any other surgical procedure. Only highly qualified anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists provide the anesthesia services. Parents should talk openly with the pediatric dental staff about the benefits and risks of this treatment. We Offer general anesthesia both in office and in a hospital setting.
