What Is Pediatric Sedation Dentistry?
Why should your child feel stressed or anxious when undergoing a dental procedure? Sedation dentistry or sleep dentistry is an option for children who need a little help to relax in the dentist's chair. Our pediatric dentist, Dr. Azi, will recommend the form of sedation most suited for your child's needs and the complexity of the procedure. The types of sedation we offer include nitrous oxide inhaled sedation, oral sedation, and intravenous (IV) sedation.
While under sedation, our young patients feel entirely at ease. Your child may feel sleepy but will be awake and responsive to directions. Depending on the type of sedation used, your child may have minimal recollection of the procedure, preventing negative associations with the dentist and making it more likely that your little one will look forward to the next visit.
What Are the Services Offered at Little Heroes Pediatric Dentistry, Orange County, CA?
Our dentistry offers a wide range of services, such as infant/toddler first-time visits, new patient exams, and recall exams. Other procedures include:
- Digital X-rays: We use the most recent, safe digital-dental x-ray technology to evaluate your child's oral health and plan for any necessary dental procedure.
- Dental Cleanings: Maintaining regular professional cleaning is one of the best ways to keep tooth decay at bay.
- Fluoride Treatments: We offer fluoride treatments to ensure the tooth's enamel or covering stays strong and healthy, lowering the risk of tooth decay.
- Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are clear plastic coatings we place on the chewing surfaces of your child's molars once they emerge to protect them from decay.
- Space Maintainers: We insert a spacer that takes the place of teeth that are lost before their permanent replacements erupt, preventing the neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment.
- White Fillings: Our composite resin, tooth-colored fillings provide a durable and attractive solution to repair small to mid-sized cavities.
- Dental Crowns: Dental crowns are caps that cover the visible surfaces of weak, cracked, or deeply decayed teeth or those that have undergone root canal treatment.
- Special Needs Dental Care: Our team is highly trained and experienced in providing exceptional dental care to our young patients with diverse needs.
- Extractions: We consider all options to save the natural tooth, but extractions may sometimes be necessary to maintain your child's oral health.
- Laser Frenectomy: Some children are born with tongue or lip-ties, which may interfere with breastfeeding and lead to other issues as the child develops. Soft tissue laser frenectomies are virtually painless and involve minimal bleeding.
