Sedation Dentistry

Avoiding your dental check-ups is one of the worst things you can do for your child’s smile! However, many patients put off regular visits because of the anxiety and fears that come along with scheduling an appointment. Past bad experiences or unknown expectations can stress many children out before they’ve walked through the door. Luckily, sedation dentistry can help your child feel calm and comfortable during their visit! With sedation dentistry, scary appointments are a thing of the past and dental health can be addressed head-on without fear. Learn more about the sedation options that we provide!

Nitrous Sedation

Also known as laughing gas, nitrous sedation is one of the most commonly used forms of sedation dentistry. Nitrous sedation is used by wearing a mask over your nose. The sedation begins to work within minutes of applying the mask. Once the mask is removed, the sedation will begin to wear away and you will be able to resume your normal activities that same day.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is taken in pill form. This type of sedation also begins to work within minutes. Oral sedation does not wear off as fast as nitrous sedation, so a driver will need to accompany you to your visit. Oral sedation is very effective and can be used for most appointments depending on what your dentist recommends.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is mostly used for more extensive treatment. An IV is placed and the strength of sedation can be raised or lowered throughout your appointment, with your dentist to adjust it as needed. You may sleep through some or all of your appointment with IV sedation.

A sedation consultation with our team can help you determine the best type of sedation for your child’s dental needs. If you are interested in sedation dentistry in Carson City, NV, call our office today! Let sedation dentistry change the way your child views visiting the dentist!
