Why Choose Sedation?
At Floss Academy, we completely get it – dental visits can be a little nerve-wracking for kids. But we've got your back! We're all about making visits easy and stress-free, which is why we offer comprehensive sedation options. Whether your little one needs a bit of extra comfort for a complex procedure or just needs to conquer dental anxiety like a champ, our sedation treatments are here to save the day.
Our Sedation Treatments
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia is used for complex or surgical procedures, providing complete unconsciousness for your child during treatment. Our pediatric anesthesiologist administers and monitors the anesthesia, and your child's vital signs will be closely observed throughout the procedure, ensuring their utmost safety and comfort.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas," is a gentle and fast-acting sedation option. It helps children relax during their dental treatment while remaining fully conscious. This method is safe and has a quick recovery time, making it an excellent choice for less invasive procedures and mild dental anxiety.
IV Sedation
IV sedation allows for a deeper level of relaxation, making it suitable for more extensive treatments or children with severe dental fear. Administered intravenously by a pediatric anesthesiologist, this method ensures your child remains comfortable throughout the procedure. The anesthesia team will be closely monitoring your child's vital signs throughout the procedure ensuring safety and well-being.
