WHEN SEDATION DENTISTRY IS RECOMMENDED
Some children may need more than a comforting environment to feel secure. Sedation is especially helpful for kids with extreme anxiety, strong gag reflexes, special healthcare needs, or extensive dental work that can’t be completed in a single visit.
Dr. Noyan takes time to review your child’s medical history and unique circumstances before recommending a sedation option. We involve parents in every step of planning to ensure the safest and most comfortable experience possible for each child we treat.
BENEFITS OF SEDATION & HOSPITAL DENTISTRY
Sedation dentistry helps make quality care more accessible and less stressful. Here’s how it helps children and parents alike:
Comfort During Treatment: Your child can receive care without fear or discomfort, promoting better cooperation and outcomes.
Reduces Trauma: Sedation reduces negative memories or associations that may affect future dental visits.
Enables Comprehensive Care: Multiple procedures can often be done in a single visit, minimizing the number of appointments.
Ideal for Special Needs: Provides a controlled, supportive setting for children with sensory, developmental, or medical conditions.
