Care that puts you first in Pacific Grove, CA.

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.

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.
