Do you offer sedation for children?

We do offer sedation for pediatric patients when needed:

Sedation options for children: - Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) - most common - Oral sedation for more complex cases - Referral for general anesthesia if needed

When child sedation is helpful: - Very young children - Children with dental anxiety - Long or complex procedures - Children with special needs - Difficulty sitting still

Nitrous oxide for children: - Very safe with long history - Child stays conscious - Wears off quickly - Child can return to normal activities - Parent can be present

Safety for pediatric sedation: - Weight-based dosing - Continuous monitoring - Age-appropriate protocols - Trained pediatric-friendly team

Parent involvement: - Pre-appointment consultation - Review of medical history - Discussion of all options - Parents often present during treatment

If your child has dental anxiety or needs extensive work, we'll discuss the safest, most appropriate approach for their age and needs.
