Pediatric Sedation Dentistry in Georgetown

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s a safe and effective way to alleviate anxiety and ensure a smooth treatment process. At Great Marsh Pediatric Dentistry, we offer tailored sedation options to meet the unique needs of each child, ensuring their utmost comfort and safety.

Types of Sedation We Offer

  • Nitrous Oxide: Commonly known as “laughing gas,” this mild form of sedation is safe and effective for reducing anxiety without putting your child to sleep. Nitrous Oxide puts your child in a relaxed state and provides some pain relief. Most children report feeling light-headed, silly and tingly. The effects of nitrous oxide are gone almost immediately and children can go about their day as normal after the procedure. Some common side effects are dizziness, headache and nausea.
  • Hospital Sedation: For more extensive procedures, we offer hospital sedation either in-office or with hospital privileges, ensuring comprehensive care in a safe environment.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

  • Reduced Anxiety: Sedation helps to calm nerves, making dental visits less daunting for anxious patients.
  • Comfortable Experience: By minimizing discomfort, children can undergo procedures without experiencing distress.
  • Efficient Treatment: Sedated patients often require fewer appointments because multiple procedures can be done in a single visit.
  • Positive Dental Visits: Children who have pleasant experiences are more likely to develop healthy attitudes toward dental care.
