Some children need extra help feeling comfortable during dental procedures. At Main Street Pediatric Dentistry Of Belmont, we offer safe, effective sedation options to help anxious or special needs children receive the dental care they need in a calm, relaxed environment.
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help children relax during dental procedures. This approach is particularly beneficial for children who experience dental anxiety, have special needs, or require extensive treatment. Sedation doesn’t eliminate consciousness but creates a state of deep relaxation that allows children to receive necessary dental care comfortably.
Dr. Matthew Savage is specially trained in pediatric sedation techniques and carefully evaluates each child to determine the most appropriate sedation level. We prioritize safety above all else, using proven protocols and continuous monitoring to ensure your child’s well-being throughout their visit. Our goal is to create positive dental experiences that help children develop healthy relationships with oral healthcare.
Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask to help children relax. This mild sedation allows children to remain awake and responsive while feeling calm and comfortable throughout their procedure.
For children who need deeper relaxation, oral sedation involves taking medication before the appointment. This approach helps very anxious children or those requiring extensive treatment feel drowsy and comfortable while still being able to respond to instructions.
In cases where deeper sedation is necessary, intravenous sedation provides precise control over sedation levels. This option is typically reserved for complex procedures or children with significant anxiety or special needs.
Sedation dentistry is ideal for children who experience dental anxiety, have difficulty sitting still for extended periods, or have special needs that make traditional dental care challenging. We also recommend sedation for children requiring multiple procedures or extensive treatment that would be difficult to complete in a traditional setting.
Each child is unique, and we work closely with parents to determine the best approach for their individual needs. Our comprehensive evaluation includes medical history, anxiety levels, and treatment requirements to ensure we select the safest, most effective sedation option for each young patient.
Dr. Matthew Savage brings extensive experience in pediatric dentistry to Main Street Pediatric Dentistry Of Belmont. Board-certified and passionate about children's oral health, Dr. Savage believes in building trust with young patients through gentle care and clear communication with both children and parents.
