Sedation Options in Apollo Beach
Going to the dentist can be a scary experience, especially for kids. But it doesn’t have to be. Here at SmileLYNN Pediatric Dentistry, we want your child to be as relaxed and stress-free as possible. That’s why we offer a wide-range of sedation options. Each of our sedation options offers their own set of benefits. However, all are safe, effective, and will help reduce your child’s anxiety and discomfort during dental visits.
Some of our sedation options include:
- Nitrous oxide – Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is an inhaled minimal relaxant that wears off quickly and is delivered via a mask that is placed over your child’s nose to help them relax and experience euphoric feelings, while also decreasing discomfort.
- Oral sedation – Oral sedation involves giving your child a medication in the office that helps to moderately sedate your child so that they are more relaxed but still awake.
- IV sedation – IV sedation is administered with the help of a pediatric anesthesiologist. When treatment is extremely difficult or there is a great deal of work to complete, intravenous medication can be used for a deeper level of sedation. Children are asleep for their treatment and we have the ability to adjust the level of sedation as needed.
