Pediatric Sedation Dentistry

For some people, a trip to the dentist is a very stressful time. Dental phobia and fear of pain are not uncommon in dental patients. For people who need help relaxing in the dentist chair, sedation dentistry is available.

• Mild Conscious Oral sedation. Taken the day of the appointment, on an empty stomach, can assist patients in relaxing through the dental procedure.
• Nitrous oxide. “Laughing gas” is inhaled through a mask to relax, with a local anesthetic used to create a comfortable atmosphere through the time of the treatment.
• IV sedation. This effective, safe method, normally monitored by an anesthesiologist, causes little or no discomfort and often little or no memory of the procedure.

Little Heroes makes your dental visit as comfortable as possible so you can enjoy the benefits of regular dentist visits and a clean oral bill of health.
