Pediatric sedation dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on providing safe, comfortable dental care for children with various needs. This type of dentistry is ideal for children who have high levels of anxiety, special needs, or require extensive dental work. Sedation can range from the use of nitrous oxide to calm a child to general anesthesia used to put a child to sleep during a procedure. At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Reesha Shah and her team are specifically trained in pediatric sedation techniques, ensuring your child's dental experience is as stress-free and comfortable as possible.
Pediatric sedation dentistry can be a game-changer for children who have a fear of dental procedures or have difficulty sitting still for extended periods. It allows them to receive the necessary dental care without the associated stress or fear. Additionally, it can be beneficial for children with special needs who may find the unfamiliar environment and procedures of a dental office overwhelming. Pediatric sedation dentistry can turn potentially traumatic experiences into positive ones, promoting a healthier attitude towards dental health as your child grows.
Nitrous oxide, commonly used in pediatric sedation dentistry, is also known as "laughing gas."

Pediatric sedation dentistry ensures that your child is comfortable and at ease during their dental procedures. This is particularly beneficial for children who have dental anxiety or fear. Sedation helps to alleviate these fears, making the dental visit a more positive experience.
With pediatric sedation dentistry, dentists can often perform more extensive treatments in fewer visits. This is because children are more cooperative and less likely to become restless or uncomfortable, allowing the dentist to work more efficiently.
The sedation methods used in pediatric dentistry are safe and controlled. Dr. Reesha Shah and her team are highly trained in administering and monitoring sedation, ensuring your child's safety throughout the procedure.
The first step in the pediatric sedation dentistry process is a pre-procedure consultation. During this visit, Dr. Shah will assess your child's overall health, dental needs, and anxiety levels to determine the most appropriate type of sedation.
On the day of the procedure, the chosen form of sedation will be administered. This could range from mild sedation using nitrous oxide to general anesthesia, depending on your child's needs. Your child's vital signs will be closely monitored throughout the procedure to ensure their safety.
Once your child is comfortably sedated, Dr. Shah will perform the dental procedure. The sedation will help your child stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the treatment, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience.
