Dental Sedation For Kids
Our practice acknowledges the diverse reactions children have to dental visits. Our core mission is centered around easing this anxiety and ensuring your child’s comfort throughout their experience at our dental facility. We provide a personalized selection of sedation methods tailored to individual needs, as each child responds uniquely. Our dedicated team engages in in-depth discussions to recommend the most suitable sedation approach based on your child’s specific requirements. Our utmost priority is to provide secure and soothing care for your child. While not every child requires sedation, it can be a valuable option for eligible individuals. With extensive training, expertise, and advanced equipment, we present a comprehensive array of sedation alternatives, including laughing gas, oral sedation, and sleep dentistry, all under the banner of Dr. Harman Raheja Dentistry. The most fitting sedation choice for your child will be thoughtfully determined through a thorough consultation session.
Is Sedation Safe for Children?
Certainly! Without a doubt, when you consider Dr. Harman Raheja Dentistry, the chances of encountering any substantial mishap are incredibly slim—much lower than the odds of being struck by lightning. Individuals in optimal health who experience sedation dentistry at our dental establishment seem to encounter no elevated risk in comparison to those receiving care at a medical facility. For the small subset of patients who could potentially have an increased vulnerability to potential complications, we will engage in discussions regarding alternative options. Safeguarding the well-being of our patients continues to be our utmost and foremost priority!
Laughing Gas Sedation
At Dr. Harman Raheja Dentistry, we employ the widely used sedation technique called laughing gas, a common choice in the field of dentistry. When your child comes to our clinic, they will wear a mask that administers the gas, allowing them to remain conscious throughout the procedure. After the gas supply is stopped, your child will experience a swift recovery, typically taking just a few minutes. What’s noteworthy is that your child can promptly resume their normal activities right after completing their appointment with us.
Oral Sedation
At Dr. Harman Raheja Dentistry, we present oral sedation as an advanced alternative to laughing gas, delivering a slightly heightened level of relaxation. Should our assessment suggest that laughing gas might not completely alleviate your child’s apprehension, opting for oral sedation offered by our practice could prove to be a valuable choice. Administered in liquid form, the sedative is ingested 10-15 minutes prior to your child’s scheduled appointment. In specific situations, we may combine the use of laughing gas with the oral sedative to achieve optimal comfort. Throughout the procedure, your child will remain conscious and at ease, although a brief recovery period will be required. As a result, we advise refraining from immediate post-procedure activities involving an oral sedative to ensure the utmost effective and comfortable experience for your child.
Sleep Dentistry
At Dr. Harman Raheja Dentistry, we recognize that certain children might require multiple treatments or experience unease during awake procedures. In such cases, sleep dentistry presents itself as a superb option. Our clinic is fully equipped to provide secure sleep dentistry services within our premises. However, tailored to your child’s unique requirements, we may opt to partner with a specialized associate to guarantee optimal care.
