Sedation Dentistry Available for Children in Waverly, NC
Suppose your child struggles with receiving dental treatment—whether due to fear, tooth sensitivity, a severe gag reflex, or another reason—turn to Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry. We proudly offer sedation dentistry for children at our Waverly, North Carolina, dental clinic, and we’ll do whatever we can to make the treatment experience easier and more comfortable for your child.
Which Sedation Dentistry Option Is Right for You?
One of the reasons why Waverly families consistently partner with Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry is because we offer a wide range of treatment options. Our pediatric sedation dentistry service is no exception. We administer the following three types of dental sedation, and we’ll recommend the option that’s most appropriate for your child’s needs:
- Oral conscious sedation – We’ll prescribe an oral medication that will cause your child to feel drowsy and possibly even fall asleep.
- Nitrous oxide sedation: We’ll administer a mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a nose mask, producing a euphoric sensation.
- Intravenous (IV) sedation – We’ll administer medication into your child’s bloodstream through an IV, likely causing them to fall asleep.
- General Anesthesia – In more complex cases, we recommend that families visit Valleygate Dental Surgical Center, where our doctors have access to general anesthesia via anesthesiologists and a team of credited nurses.
Once we’ve determined which of these options will best serve your child’s needs, we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. We’ll also answer any questions that you or your child might have. We know that sedation dentistry can sometimes be scary for a child—especially the first time they undergo sedation—so we’ll help calm their worries and feel more relaxed.
