Sedation & Comfort
Many people experience dental anxiety before and during dental procedures. It's okay to feel nervous or even fearful when anticipating an appointment. We understand that our patients aren't all the same. We have many methods available to provide your child with a relaxed, comfortable dental experience.
The most common forms of sedation used in dentistry are inhaled, oral, and intravenous sedation.
IV Sedation
Sometimes anxiety prevents a patient from completing treatment which leads to further problems. If nearly falling asleep during treatment and waking up at the end would make finishing your child’s treatment plan possible, then IV sedation might work for them.
Laughing Gas
Laughing gas, an inhaled sedative, brings one of the safest and easiest sedation techniques to nearly any procedure. Patients from young to old may benefit by simply breathing in and out.
General Anesthesia
Dr. Zeylikman believes that general anesthesia is always safest in the operating room/surgical center under the supervision of top Pediatric physicians.
