Irvine Kids Dental Office

Sedation Dental for Kids in Irvine If you are looking for an expert pediatric dentist who can also provide your child with dental sedation, you will want to visit us at First Smile Pediatric Dentistry. At our Irvine kids dental office, our top-notch pediatric dentist, Dr. Rabin Marfatia, will provide your child with thorough and gentle dental care, including dental sedation, if necessary. We want to make sure that your child always has a healthy attitude toward dental care, and feel that there is no reason why your child should ever have to suffer with any pain or fear of dental treatment. Our pediatric dentist has extensive experience in nitrous oxide sedation, oral sedation, and treating young patients with IV sedation. At our Irvine kids dental office, our pediatric dentist will know exactly how to set your child at ease, and will probably explain to your child exactly what type of dental care is going to be given. Sometimes, all that is needed to make your child feel relaxed is nitrous oxide sedation, also known as laughing gas. Your child will breathe in the nitrous oxide through his or her nose. Nitrous oxide is an extremely safe form of inhaled sedation. Your child will be totally conscious and awake during the entire treatment, but the nitrous oxide will keep him or her relaxed and make them less aware of the treatment. It can help children who have a severe gag reflex as well. We also offer a liquid oral sedative that will be administered to your child based on their weight. The sedation generally takes about 15 minutes to begin, after which your child will be brought into the treatment room. Your child will also receive nitrous oxide sedation at the same time. During treatment all of your child’s vital signs will be monitored. It is best used for children who are extremely anxious and who cannot cooperate with instructions. We also offer IV sedation, under an anesthesiologist’s care. To meet with our pediatric dentist at our Irvine kids dental office about dental sedation, contact us today.
