Sedation Dentistry—Stress-Free Visits for Every Child
Some children feel nervous about dental care, and we understand! That’s why we offer
safe, child-friendly sedation options to ensure a
calm, comfortable experience.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
A mild,
safe sedative that helps children relax while remaining awake. It wears off quickly after the appointment, so they can return to their normal routine.
Oral conscious sedation
For children who need
a deeper level of relaxation, oral conscious sedation allows them to feel calm and drowsy while still being responsive.
General anesthesia performed at Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center
For children requiring extensive dental work or those with special healthcare needs, we offer
general anesthesia performed at Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center, ensuring
a safe, positive experience.
