Types of Sedation We Offer
Laughing Gas
Laughing gas is a gentle, mild sedative that helps children feel calm and relaxed while staying awake during their dental visit. It works quickly, wears off just as fast after treatment, and has no lingering effects—so kids can return to school, play, or daily activities right away with no downtime.
IV Sedation
IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation, helping children feel completely at ease during their dental procedure. Carefully monitored by our expert team, this option is ideal for longer treatments, complex procedures, or children with severe dental anxiety, ensuring a stress-free, comfortable experience from start to finish.
When Sedation Dentistry Can Help
- Dental anxiety or fear – Helps children stay calm and stress-free during treatment.
- Multiple procedures needed – Allows us to complete more work in one visit.
- Difficulty sitting still – Perfect for young children who have trouble remaining still for extended periods.
- Special needs patients – Provides a gentle and accommodating approach for children with unique healthcare needs.
- Complex dental work – Ideal for treatments that require longer chair time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is sedation dentistry safe for kids?
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by trained professionals. Our board-certified pediatric dentists use strict safety measures and advanced monitoring equipment.
Will my child be asleep during sedation?
It depends on the type of sedation. Laughing gas keeps children awake but relaxed, while IV sedation induces a deeper level of relaxation where they may lightly sleep.
How long does sedation last?
Laughing gas wears off within minutes after treatment, while IV sedation may take a few hours to fully wear off.
Can my child eat before sedation?
We will provide specific fasting instructions based on the type of sedation your child will receive. The required fasting period varies, with IV sedation typically requiring 6-8 hours of no food or drink. Our team will ensure you have clear, detailed guidelines before the procedure.
Will my child remember the procedure?
With IV sedation, children have little to no memory of the procedure, while laughing gas allows them to remain aware but relaxed.
What if my child has dental anxiety?
Sedation is one of the best solutions for dental anxiety, helping children feel calm and comfortable while building positive dental experiences.
How do I prepare my child for sedation?
We will provide pre-sedation guidelines, including fasting instructions, and recommend calm reassurance to make them feel safe and secure.
What happens after my child’s sedation?
After sedation, we monitor your child until they are fully awake. Most children recover quickly and can resume normal activities by the next day.
Is sedation covered by insurance?
Some dental insurance plans cover sedation, especially for medically necessary treatments. Our team can help check your coverage.
How do I know if my child needs sedation?
If your child experiences dental anxiety, difficulty sitting still, or requires extensive treatment, sedation may be a great option to help them feel comfortable and relaxed.
