27. When is sedation recommended for kids?

Sedation Recommendations

Sedation can be helpful for children in certain situations, including if they:
-Are very nervous or fearful about visiting the dentist
-Require longer or more involved procedures, like multiple fillings, extractions, or crowns
-Have special needs or find it hard to sit still during treatment
-Have a sensitive gag reflex or other challenges that make dental work difficult

Our priority is to make dental care safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible. We always aim to use the minimal amount of sedation needed to help your child relax while allowing treatment to be completed efficiently.
