SAFE, KID-FRIENDLY SEDATION SERVICES TO EASE FEARS AND ENSURE COMFORT

Sedation
Pediatric Dentistry

Creating a pleasant experience for every child starts with understanding their comfort level. Our practice provides several sedation options to support children who may feel anxious or need additional care during treatment.

Sedation dentistry is a gentle way to manage a child’s discomfort or anxiety during treatment. With the help of safe, controlled medication, we can help your child feel at ease, reduce their stress, and ensure they receive dental care in a comfortable, reassuring setting.

The type of sedation we recommend is always based on your child’s specific needs and your comfort as a parent.

Local Anesthesia

Many restorative treatments can be completed using local anesthesia—often known as “Novocaine,” though we typically use safe, modern options like Lidocaine, Mepivacaine, or Articaine. 
The effects wear off in a few hours, allowing your child to return to normal activities soon after.

Nitrous Oxide

Most restorative procedures can be done comfortably with local anesthesia. Although it’s often called “Novocaine,” we now use advanced options such as Lidocaine, Mepivacaine, or Articaine for safe, effective numbing. These medicines work quickly, ensuring a pain-free experience that fades within a few hours.

IV Sedation

In some cases—such as when treatment is extensive or a child needs deeper relaxation—we offer in-office IV sedation, carefully monitored to keep your child safe and at ease throughout the procedure.
