At Cool Kid Dental, we understand that there are certain situations where it might be difficult for your child to sit still and receive the dental care they need. That’s why, among the other measures we take to make sure your child is as calm and comfortable as possible during their appointment, we offer the possibility of sedation dentistry for patients who need it. But as a parent, you may be wary of the idea of sedation dentistry, or you may be wondering when it would be right for your child. Not to worry, though, as Cool Kid Dental has the answers you’re looking for.
When to Consider Sedation Dentistry As an Option for Your Child
If your child has a fear of doctors, a bad gag reflex, a high sense of anxiety, or perhaps special needs, sedation dentistry may be a smart route to take when it’s time to get them the dental care they need. After all, you want to make sure that your child’s teeth are taken care of and that they’re set up for a lifetime of good health and dental hygiene, but we’re sure you’ll agree that making sure they’re as comfortable as possible while doing so should be a high priority. In addition to the friendly care and welcoming environment we create for our pediatric dentistry patients, our sedation dentistry options can make your child’s visit to our office more manageable.
What Do Our Sedation Dentistry Options Look Like?
Of course, sedation dentistry allows your child to sleep comfortably and worry-free while their teeth are being worked on. Dr. Frank C. Pettinato II, DMD, MS, is highly experienced in the world of sedation dentistry and can be trusted to help your child enter a relaxed state that allows them to get the care they need. Whether it’s the gentle and effective nitrous oxide (Happy Gas) or IV sedation for more complicated cases, we can make sure your child is able to receive the care they need in as comfortable of a manner as possible.
