Dental Sedation For Kids

Overview

Introducing Smile Dentistry on Tomken – At our practice, we recognize that each child’s response to dental visits varies. Our mission revolves around alleviating this anxiety and ensuring your child’s ease during their time at our dental center. Our array of sedation choices is tailored to cater to individual needs, as the effects can differ from child to child. Our devoted team will engage in a thorough conversation to suggest the most suitable sedation method according to your child’s requirements. Our foremost objective remains delivering secure and comfortable care to your child. Although not all children necessitate sedation, it can be a beneficial alternative for eligible candidates. With comprehensive training, capabilities, and advanced equipment, we offer a comprehensive range of sedation options including laughing gas, oral sedation, and sleep dentistry. The ideal option for your child will be thoughtfully determined through a consultation session.

Our Procedures

Laughing Gas Sedation

At Smilez Dentistry on Tomken, we use laughing gas—a safe and commonly used sedation method.
Your child breathes it through a mask and stays awake during the procedure. Recovery is quick, just a few minutes after the gas is turned off. It helps ease anxiety while keeping your child comfortable. They can resume normal activities right after the appointment.

Oral Sedation

At Smilez Dentistry on Tomken, we offer oral sedation for children who need extra comfort during treatment.
It’s a stronger option than laughing gas and is given as a drink 10–15 minutes before the appointment.
Sometimes, we combine it with laughing gas for added relaxation. Your child stays awake but calm throughout the procedure. A short recovery time is needed, so we suggest avoiding activities right after the visit.

Sleep Dentistry

At Smilez Dentistry on Tomken, we understand that some children may need multiple treatments or might not feel comfortable during awake procedures. This is where sleep dentistry emerges as an excellent choice. Our practice is well-prepared to offer safe sleep dentistry right here in our facility. Nonetheless, based on your child’s specific needs, we might decide to collaborate with a specialized colleague to ensure the best care possible.
