Is Sleep Dentistry Safe For Kids?

At Moonflower Dentistry, we understand the concerns parents have about sleep dentistry. Rest assured, it is a safe option for children needing dental procedures. Our pediatric dental specialist is certified and skilled in sedation techniques, providing a controlled, monitored, and safe setting for all dental treatments. When deeper sedation is implemented, Dr. Kritika makes sure that the setting is safe, whether it be in-office or at the local hospital, and that an anesthesiologist is present. We are committed to making dental visits anxiety-free and safe for our young patients.

Types of Sedation Available:

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): This mild sedative is inhaled through a mask, quickly calming children during dental procedures. The effects are minimal and wear off almost immediately after the mask is removed.

Oral Conscious Sedation: Administered orally, this sedation keeps children awake but in a deeply relaxed state, making dental procedures less stressful. It helps reduce anxiety significantly and may result in limited memory of the procedure.

General Anesthesia – In-Office and Hospital: For comprehensive dental work or children requiring deeper sedation, we offer general anesthesia both in our clinic and in a hospital setting. This ensures your child is completely asleep and feels no discomfort during complex procedures.
