For a few of our young patients, administering a sedative before or during their visit is the key to making their treatment tolerable. Perhaps the child is especially fearful or can’t sit still or follow directions from the doctor. The child might also not respond to normal anesthetics. For children like these who could not otherwise receive dental care, the right sedation, worked out with the parent’s agreement, is key to preserving their oral health.
At Dental Studio 4 Kids, we understand that dental anxiety can make dental treatment a stressful experience for children. That’s why we offer pediatric sedation dentistry in Tampa, FL, ensuring a calm and comfortable environment for your little one. Our specialized sedation dentistry services help children receive necessary dental care without fear, making visits to the dentist’s office a positive experience.
It is advised that youth undergoing moderate or deep sedation be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Please contact us to learn more about our sedation services or to schedule a consultation regarding care for your child.
Understanding Pediatric Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry uses different types of dental sedation to help children relax during dental procedures. It’s ideal for those with dental anxiety, those with special needs, or those requiring longer procedures like fillings or a root canal. Our priority is your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring they feel at ease while receiving the dental treatment they need.
Our Pediatric Sedation Options
- Nitrous Oxide Sedation (Laughing Gas)
This mild form of sedation dentistry is administered through a small mask, helping children relax without making them fall asleep. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, allowing kids to return to normal activities soon after their dental procedure. - Oral Sedation
This form of moderate sedation is given in liquid form to help children feel drowsy but still responsive. Oral sedation is excellent for children with moderate dental anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures. - IV Sedation
For children needing extensive dental work, deep state sedation is administered through an IV by a board-certified anesthesiologist. This method ensures that the child is completely at ease throughout the treatment.
Top Rated Pediatric Dentist in Lutz, FL
"Dr. Lasanta and her staff are genuine in their care for children with anxiety and special medical needs. She is thorough and compassionate about her work with children. More importantly she listened to my concerns and took special precautions for my children. The anesthesiology group that works with them are equally amazing and took interest in our care. I highly recommend them especially for children with anxiety and complex medical history."
