Pediatric Dental Sedation in Palm Beach Gardens
Learn More about Comfortable Care for Your Little One
If you need a procedure done to your teeth, your dentist will recommend some form of anesthesia to sedate you and allow the work to be done so that you won’t feel any pain. The same goes for your child: Fillings, tooth extractions, crowns, root canals, and other serious dental work will all require some form of sedation. However, unlike the sedation you may receive as an adult, child sedation is a delicate process that should be entrusted to our pediatric sedation dentistry in Palm Beach Gardens. We have the experience and training needed to handle small teeth.
At Dr. Mimy’s Children’s Dentistry, we recognize and understand that your child’s dental care should be second-to-none and that is why we have undergone special education to be fully-prepared to handle your child’s growing teeth. Our team has undergone through and specific training to know how to properly administer anesthetics and sedatives that can both prevent your child from feeling pain while also ensuring they remain safe throughout the process.
How We Help Your Child through the Process
We understand that being sedated can be intimidating and even fearful for young children, especially if they have never been sedated before. That is why we take extra steps along the way to ensure that your child will be comfortable and happy throughout the process.
We offer the following types of sedation methods for your child:
- Nitrous oxide: Otherwise known as “laughing gas,” this type of sedation lessens anxiety and numbs pain receptors, allowing work to be done while still maintaining consciousness
- I.V. sedation: Also called “deep sedation,” this type of anesthetic puts your child to sleep while also numbing their pain receptors, allowing for a calm procedure which your child wakes up from with little to no memory of the work being done.
Board-Certified Children's Anesthesiologist
It can be difficult for a parent to permit their child to be placed into deep sedation, but our team is committed to making sure you are as comfortable and at-ease as your child. All I.V. sedation procedures are performed by a board-certified M.D. pediatric anesthesiologists and a registered pediatric nurse who monitor your child at all times throughout the procedure.
Let our team provide the care your child’s smile needs. Contact Dr. Mimy’s Children’s Dentistry online or dial (561) 220-2601 to request an appointment!
