Securing your Child’s Emotional and Physical Wellbeing
Our mission is to create a positive dental experience for every child. Our Summerlin, Las Vegas dentists do not recommend sedation dentistry for all children, but it can vastly improve dentistry for kids who:
- Feel nervous or fearful about sitting in the dental chair
- Have difficulty sitting still through a full dental procedure
- Have difficulty becoming numb or getting comfortable in the dentist’s office
- Require long or complicated procedures
- Have mental or physical challenges
If your child’s fear is making the idea of a needed dental procedure absolutely miserable, ask our compassionate doctors about sedation dentistry. We want to help your child relax and have a better relationship with dental work.
Laughing Gas
Laughing Gas is a very safe and mild sedative that will allow your child to relax during any procedure. We administer this type of sedation dentistry through a small nose mask, so when your child inhales, they will feel calm and relaxed.
With the use of laughing, your child will remain awake while feeling happy and stress-free. The reason it is called laughing gas is because of the light euphoric feeling it produces. Once we remove the laughing gas breathing mask, your child will feel like themselves again right away.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedation dentistry helps patients to remain conscious but in a more peaceful state. Administration is easy and non-traumatizing: Your child will take the prescribed medication shortly before their dental visit. By the time they get to our office, they should feel unconcerned and at ease about their procedure.
