Helping Your Child Feel Safe and Comfortable
At Storybook Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety for some children. That’s why we’re committed to creating a positive and stress-free experience for every little patient. Our sedation dentistry options are designed to help children feel calm and comfortable during their visits, ensuring they receive the dental care they need with minimal discomfort or fear.
Why Sedation Dentistry?
For many children, fear of dental procedures can make visits challenging. Sedation dentistry offers a safe and effective way to:
Our goal is to provide the best care for your child while keeping them as comfortable as possible.
Is Sedation Safe for My Child?
Your child’s safety is our top priority. Sedation is widely supported by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry as a safe and effective method for managing anxiety and enabling treatment. At Storybook Dental, we use advanced technology and partner with trained specialists to ensure your child is in the safest hands possible.
Sedation Options Tailored to Your Child’s Needs
General Anesthesia
For children requiring complete sedation, general anesthesia is the best choice. Your child will sleep through the procedure, allowing us to complete treatments without any discomfort or awareness. We partner with M2 Anesthesia, a group of 22 highly trained anesthesiologists who use hospital-grade equipment to ensure your child’s safety and comfort.
Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”)
Nitrous oxide is one of the safest and most commonly used sedation methods. Often referred to as "laughing gas," it provides a mild anesthetic effect, helping children relax without losing consciousness. The gas is administered through a small nose mask and leaves kids feeling calm and even a little giggly, as if they’re floating on clouds. After the procedure, we ensure all traces of the gas are removed by administering pure oxygen for five minutes, leaving your child ready to resume their day.
Mild Oral Conscious Sedation
Mild oral conscious sedation is an excellent option for children who experience heightened anxiety. Administered as a liquid medication (midazolam or Versed), it helps children relax without putting them to sleep. While your child remains awake, they may have little to no memory of the procedure. This sedation option allows for effective treatment while keeping anxiety at bay.
It’s important to note that children will need to fast before their visit, and specific pre-procedure instructions will be provided. While mild sedation works in most cases, there may be rare instances where additional methods are required.
Innovative Technology for Minimizing Discomfort
At Storybook Dental, we go beyond traditional sedation methods to offer innovative technology that ensures your child’s comfort:
