Relaxing Dental Care for Your Child at LeSavoy Pediatric Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is particularly beneficial for children who experience fear or anxiety about visiting the dentist, as well as those who have difficulty sitting still for extended periods.

At Lesavoy Pediatric Dentistry, we offer various levels of sedation to accommodate the unique needs of each child:

• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a mild form of sedation administered through a mask placed over the nose. It induces a sense of relaxation and euphoria, allowing your child to feel more at ease during their dental appointment. The effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing your child to resume normal activities without any lingering drowsiness.
• General Anesthesia: for children requiring more extensive dental work or those with severe anxiety, Lesavoy Pediatric Dentistry also offers General Anesthesia as a sedation option. General Anesthesia is administered by a trained anesthesiologist and allows the child to be completely asleep during the procedure, ensuring they feel no discomfort or anxiety. This level of sedation is especially beneficial for children with special needs or those undergoing complex dental treatments.

Nitrous Oxide offers several benefits for children, including:

• Reduced Anxiety: Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) helps alleviate fear and anxiety associated with dental visits, allowing children to feel more comfortable and relaxed during their appointments.
• Improved Cooperation: Children who have received ‘Laughing Gas’ are often more cooperative and able to tolerate longer or more complex dental procedures, resulting in a more successful treatment outcome.
• Pain Relief: ‘Laughing Gas’ can help minimize discomfort and pain during dental procedures, ensuring a more positive experience for your child.
