As your pediatric dentist, we aim to make your child\u2019s visits as inviting and easy as possible. Sometimes it can be scary for little ones to go to the dentist, but we provide options for sedation to help make procedures as relaxing, painless, and safe as we can. Here are three sedation options that we may consider for your child:\n\nNitrous Oxide<\/b>\n\nNitrous oxide is combined with oxygen and administered through a mask over the nose. You may know it as \u201claughing gas,\u201d but in our office we refer to it as the \u201cmickey mouse nose,\u201d \u201cpuppy nose,\u201d or \u201cjet pilot mask.\u201d This sedation agent has a quick onset and rapid recovery and allows your child to remain conscious throughout their procedure. Nitrous Oxide helps to reduce anxiety and reduce pain and discomfort.\n\nOral Sedation<\/b>\n\nFor children who struggle with traditional dental procedures, oral conscious sedation allows for a more comfortable experience. We consult with your child\u2019s pediatrician to confirm that this is a healthy option for your child and will discuss the procedure with you beforehand. This option is most effective for small children with minimal amounts of dental work.\n\nI.V. Sedation<\/b>\n\nWith the help of Pediatric Dental Anesthesiology Associates, we\u2019re able to provide I.V. sedation<\/a> for children who are pre-cooperative or developmentally delayed. Under the care of a Board Certified Pediatric Anesthesiologist, we can safely and effectively treat all of your child\u2019s dental needs in one appointment.\n\nSedation helps to protect your child from the stress and discomfort that may arise during dental procedures. As your Palm Harbor pediatric dentist, we aim to make your child feel as comfortable as possible so that they can enjoy coming to see us! We work to educate our patients and their parents about preventative tactics and dental options that encourage a lifetime of healthy teeth. To schedule your child\u2019s appointment with Dr. Maggie, contact our office today!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are several medications offered to help make dental visits more comfortable and relaxing for your little ones.
