It is important for children to visit the dentist, but it isn’t always easy. It can be difficult for them to tolerate any procedures that are needed, especially if they are afraid of the dentist or have special needs.
Don’t Worry, just take a deep breath and relax
Children experience anxiety, just like adults. They feel stressed and nervous, especially when faced with situations they are not familiar with. Those with special needs such as autism or a gag reflex can just add to their apprehensiveness. As a parent this type of situation can almost be unbearable.
IV sedation is a great option for this type of situation. Easing any anxiety during the procedure, completing several extensive treatments in just one visit, instead of several visits, and your child won’t remember much of the appointment.
How IV Sedation Can Help
Safety
With the assistance of a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, IV sedation is extremely safe. Though all the anxiety is gone and they will feel very relaxed, they will remain awake during the procedure, able to respond to the dentist verbal cues.
Comfort
Most children can have a difficult time sitting in the dental chair for very long, especially with all the unfamiliar sights and sounds going on. IV sedation allows them to feel relaxed and remain still during the procedure.
Quality Care
When a child is able to sit still in the dental chair, the dentist will have an easier time performing the treatment. Ensuring the highest quality of care for your child.
Efficiency
Instead of having to come back for several visits, IV sedation allows many procedures to be completed in just one appointment and in a shorter amount of time.
