Dental Sedation in Milpitas
Dental sedation helps children feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable during dental visits or procedures. It is a safe and effective way to reduce anxiety, minimize discomfort, and ensure a positive experience for young patients. At TeethBuddies Pediatric Dentistry, we carefully choose the right level of sedation based on each child’s needs, age, and treatment. Our team is specially trained to provide gentle, monitored care so every child receives treatment in a relaxed, worry-free environment.
Types of Dental Sedation We Provide
Sedation (Gas/Nitrous Oxide)
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide helps children feel calm and relaxed while staying awake. It is inhaled through a small mask and wears off quickly after treatment, making it a safe and gentle option for easing mild dental anxiety.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia allows your child to sleep comfortably throughout the procedure with no pain or awareness. A licensed anesthesiologist monitors your child’s safety, making it a good option for extensive dental work or severe anxiety.
What to Expect During Sedation
At TeethBuddies Pediatric Dentistry, your child’s comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our team provides clear communication, gentle care, and close monitoring during every step of the sedation process.
Pre-Sedation Evaluation: Before treatment, we review your child’s medical history, discuss sedation options, and explain what to expect.
Administering Sedation: Depending on the type of sedation, your child may inhale gas through a mask, or receive general anesthesia.
Monitoring and Care: Throughout the procedure, our team carefully monitors breathing, heart rate, and comfort to ensure safety.
