Safe and Effective Sedation Options for Children
When caring for children who are very young, you’ll notice that they might have a high level of anxiety or fear that interferes with the cooperation necessary for dental treatments. This is why we at Pittsburgh Children's Dentistry have many safe and effective options for sedation dentistry in Pittsburgh, PA that can help a child relax.
Mildly anxious patients can receive nitrous oxide, which is also known as “laughing gas," to calm them.
Deep sedation is necessary for children who are unable, by either age or maturity level, to cooperate during dental treatment. In this case, we refer to outpatient facilities capable of safely sedating your child.
Patients Who May Require Sedation Dentistry
- Young pre-cooperative children
- Children who require major treatment
- A very anxious child
- Children who have had traumatic dental experiences (sound and smell aversion)
- Children with a strong gag reflex
- Children who are medically compromised or have special needs
