Dental Anxiety is Very Common Among Children
A proactive approach to a lifetime of good dental health care is developing positive childhood memories. If a child is excessively worried or fearful of going to the dentist, over time these feelings can worsen, resulting avoiding the dentist all together as an adult.
Pediatric dentistry has made significant strides, but children with a sensitive gag reflex, have difficulty keeping their mouth open for the length of the procedure, difficulty remaining still, or have needs, can make receiving dental treatments difficult. IV sedation is a great option for a child to receive quality dental care without compromising their level of comfort or negative memories associated with the dentist.
IV sedation is administered intravenously, unlike general anesthesia, it does not impair the child’s breathing ability and is custom to their specific needs. A highly trained anesthesia provider will be monitoring every breath and heartbeat during the procedure, as well as, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation.
