Pediatric Dental Sedation in Valencia

Going to the dentist can be a worrisome experience for anybody, especially kids, however, it doesn’t have to be. We want your child to be as relaxed and stress-free as possible during visits. We offer a wide range of sedation options customized to your child's needs. Each of our sedation options offers their own set of benefits and are safe, effective, and help reduce your child’s anxiety and prevent discomfort during dental visits. Some of our sedation options include:

• Nitrous oxide: At SCV Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer nitrous oxide sedation, more commonly known as “laughing gas,” at no extra charge. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is an inhaled minimal relaxant that wears off quickly and is delivered via a mask that is placed over your child’s nose to help them relax and experience euphoric feelings, while also decreasing discomfort.
• Oral sedation: Medication will be given to your child medication in the office prior to an appointment to help reduce your child's anxiety so that they are more relaxed but still awake.
• IV sedation: This is for very nervous or special needs children who need further help to relax and stay still. IV sedation is administered with the help of a board-certified pediatric anesthesiologist. When treatment is extremely difficult or there is a great deal of work to complete, intravenous medication can be used for a deeper level of sedation. Children are asleep during their treatment, allowing the dentists to perform quality dentistry while the anesthesiologist ensure your child is safe and comfortable.
• And much more!
