Help Your Child Feel Relaxed With Safe Sedation

Dental visits should be a positive experience for every child. When fear or sensory sensitivities make treatment difficult, sedation can help them feel calm and comfortable. Whether your child needs a routine cleaning, a filling, or a more complex procedure, we offer sedation options to make their visit as easy as possible.

With the right approach, even children with special needs or past dental anxiety can get the care they need without stress. Our sedation options include:

  • Laughing Gas – This light, relaxing option helps children feel at ease while staying fully awake. It wears off quickly, allowing them to return to their day as usual without feeling groggy.
  • In-House Sedation – For children who need deeper relaxation, we offer sedation with a board-certified anesthesiologist in our office for a safe and controlled experience.
  • Hospital Dentistry – For children requiring specialized care, we provide treatment under sedation at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital to ensure their safety and comfort.

Your child’s dentist will help determine which level of sedation is most appropriate for your child, based on factors like past history, level of anxiety, and the treatment they will undergo.

We make every effort to keep your child’s visit enjoyable. TVs, a selection of DVDs, pillows, and blankets help them feel at home. For new patients, we provide a friendly introduction where they can meet our team and take a tour of the office before their appointment. This helps them feel comfortable and confident about their dental care.
