Sedation Dentistry
Oral conscious sedation is a safe and effective technique used to relax and reduce anxiety during dental procedures. Children are drowsy but still conscious (awake) and responsive to verbal commands. Minimal sedation is indicated for children who experience higher levels of anxiety. In addition, sedation is also recommended for children who are very young or who have special needs and are unable to cooperate for dental treatment.
General Anesthesia if offered for patients that might need a deeper level of sedation than conscious sedation. General anesthesia is administered by a dental anesthesiologist and is reserved for special needs, very young children where oral conscious sedation might not be indicated and/or those with extreme dental phobias that can not be resolved with minimal sedation.
We designed our office with you and your child’s comfort in mind. We have arcade video games for the kids and the adults. If your child is afraid or nervous about visiting the Dentist, ask us about our “Mock Dental Exams” for patients 3 years and under. This is where we introduce them to our office without dental work being done, so that they become more comfortable and familiar. We show them with a stuffed animal what to expect on their first exam to help alleviate some of the stress and fear before their first dental exam. Some of our amenities include:
- Flat screen televisions above every dental chair so children can watch their favorite movies during procedures or cleanings.
- Children’s themed rooms.
- For the adults, we feature free wireless internet access.
- Arcade games
- Air hockey table and free train rides at our Indian School Road office.
