inhalation sedation
Inhalation sedation is a safe and effective way to reduce anxiety and discomfort during a dental procedure. Unlike other forms of sedation, inhalation sedation does not put your child to sleep, it allows them to remain conscious and they are able to communicate throughout.
Reducing dental stress in anxious children
It works swiftly and wears off quickly, allowing your child to return to their normal activities soon after their procedure. A small mask will be placed over your child’s nose for them to gently inhale the sedative, which produces a calming and relaxing effect that will relieve your child of anxieties.
