Sedation Dentistry Options For Children

It is understandable to have concerns regarding sedation dentistry for your child. We urge parents to ask a Dentist Calgary NW a series of in-depth questions to feel confident in the dentist, their staff, the facility, and the sedation procedure that is being recommended. That being said, here is a list of sedation options you could consider for your child.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Nitrous Oxide, often known as happy gas is an ideal technique for children who readily accept a nasal mask. Nitrous oxide is very safe, the patient remains awake and able to interact throughout the appointment. Once the gas is turned off, the effects wear off very quickly and your kid can go back to school afterwards.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedatives come in many different forms, usually tablets, pills, and liquids) and may make the child feel drowsy but responsive & conscious during the treatment. This sedative effect will last approximately 2 to 3 hours in total.

IV sedation

The dentist will administer the sedative medication via an IV line. IV sedation is a safe option for children who are apprehensive about having dental surgery. IV sedation is also beneficial because your child will have little or no recollection of the procedure. This means there are no bad memories attached to dental visits, hence your child will less likely resist future appointments and treatments.
