Conquer Dental Anxiety with Our Customized Sedation Treatments

At Ready Set Smile Pediatric Dentistry, we offer safe sedation options to ensure a calm, stress-free dental experience. Whether for complex procedures or easing anxiety, our expert team provides gentle care in a comforting environment, helping your child relax while receiving the treatment they need.

Why Choose Our Sedation Treatments?

Our sedation treatments provide a calm and reassuring environment for children who feel anxious or have special healthcare needs. By combining gentle care with safe sedation methods, we help your child relax. This ensures procedures are completed smoothly and with minimal stress, leading to a more positive dental experience overall.

General Anesthesia

For complex or surgical procedures, we use general anesthesia. This ensures your child is completely asleep, feeling no pain during treatment. Our expert pediatric anesthesiologist manages the anesthesia and carefully monitors your child's vital signs throughout. This ensures their utmost safety and comfort at all times.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, often called “laughing gas,” is a gentle and fast-acting sedation option. It helps children relax during their dental treatments while staying fully conscious. This method is safe, with a quick recovery time, making it an excellent choice for less invasive procedures and mild dental anxiety.

IV Sedation

For those needing a deeper level of relaxation, like during extended treatments or if your child is very nervous, IV sedation might be best. Administered through a small needle by a pediatric anesthesiologist, this method ensures your child stays comfortable. The anesthesia team closely monitors your child’s vital signs, focusing on their safety and well-being.
