Sedation Dentistry
At Jamboree Dentistry, we understand that some children can become worried or anxious about dental treatment. To ensure that all our patients have a comfortable, stress-free experience, we offer nitrous oxide and sedation dentistry options tailored to individual needs and procedures.
Sedation dentistry for children is a safe, effective way to help children who may experience anxiety during dental appointments or who need to undergo a longer or more complex procedure. Our highly qualified team takes into account the individual needs of each patient to provide the appropriate level of care at each appointment.
Safe, Effective Pediatric Dental Sedation
The safety and well-being of our patients are our top priorities. All sedation methods are administered by our highly trained and experienced dental professionals and patients are monitored closely throughout every moment of the procedure. We adhere to strict safety protocols and guidelines, ensuring that sedation dentistry is administered effectively and safely.
Before administering any form of sedation, we conduct a thorough consultation with you to understand the patient’s medical history, discuss any anxieties, and explain the sedation process. We encourage questions and strive to ensure that patients and caregivers are fully informed and comfortable with the chosen sedation method.
At Jamboree Dentistry, we’re dedicated to providing a compassionate, patient-focused approach to pediatric dental care. Nitrous oxide and sedation dentistry are just two of the many ways we tailor our services to meet the needs of each patient. If your child often exhibits anxiety during dental appointments or you’re interested in learning more about sedation dentistry options, our team is here to guide you and ensure a comfortable and anxiety-free dental experience.
Sedation Options at Jamboree Dentistry
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Our team specializes in pediatric dental treatment, so we understand the unique needs involved in caring for the oral health of children, adolescents, and teenagers. We offer a range of services and provide gentle and compassionate care in an environment that’s comfortable for our patients and their families.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a mild/light form of sedation given to children with mild anxiety who require dental work. It comes in the form of a liquid your child drinks. The medicine goes into effect in about 45 minutes. Importantly, these medicines do not put your child to sleep, but they do relieve mild anxiety and can make your child a little drowsy.
Your child must be somewhat cooperative for dental work to be completed, as this is a light form of sedation. If your child’s dental needs are very great, it may require two or three shorter visits with oral sedation to complete all the treatment.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia is a deeper level of sedation. The child will fall asleep while breathing in a gas. An anesthesiologist will then start an IV and intubate the child so that they remain sleeping for the entire procedure. Children can require general anesthesia for many reasons including young age, uncooperative behavior, large number of dental cavities, certain medical conditions or special needs, or because oral sedation was not successful in the past.
For this option the child will be put to sleep by a board certified anesthesiologist and our pediatric dentist will perform the dental treatment.
The following patients may be candidates for sedation during their visit:
- Infants
- Children who require major treatment
- Children or adolescents who experience severe anxiety at the dentist
- Children that have had traumatic dental experiences
- Children with a strong gag reflex
- Children who are medically compromised or who are special needs
