26. What types of sedation do you offer?

We offer several safe and effective sedation options for children, depending on their age, anxiety level, and the procedure:

-Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) – A mild, fast-acting sedative that helps children relax while staying awake. It wears off quickly, so your child can return to normal activities right after the appointment.
-Oral sedation – Medication taken by mouth to help your child feel calm and drowsy during treatment.
-IV or deeper sedation – Used in special cases for longer or more complex procedures. This is carefully monitored by trained professionals to ensure your child’s safety throughout.

Before any sedation, we review your child’s health history, explain the process in detail, and monitor them closely during the entire visit to make sure they stay safe and comfortable.
