Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide sedation, more commonly known as laughing gas, is our most gentle method of sedation. It’s administered in-office by our trained team by placing a small nose mask on your child to allow them to breathe in a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Because the amounts of sedation can be adjusted in real-time based on your child’s response, we can make sure your little one feels comfortable throughout their entire appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is typically administered in the form of a liquid medication or single pill. Within about an hour of taking the medication, your child should feel relaxed and much more comfortable when entering the practice. Because this is a stronger method of sedation, it can take several hours for the full effects to wear off, so we recommend that they take the rest of the day off school and stay home to get plenty of rest following their visit.
General Anesthesia (Sleep Dentistry)
General anesthesia, also known as sleep dentistry, is the strongest method of sedation we offer. Ideal for advanced procedures or children with extreme dental anxiety, it will basically allow them to nap through their appointment and wake up once our team is finished. We work with leading experts to make the experience a positive and safe one.
