Here at Pediatric Special Care, our Albuquerque pediatric dental specialist and the rest of the staff here understand that some pediatric patients experience fear and anxiety when it comes time for a visit to the dentist. Whether it stems from a fear of the unknown, or if your child has had a negative experience at the dentist in the past, our Albuquerque pediatric dental specialist is here to help your child feel relaxed and at home so that she can get the dental care she needs in a comfortable and welcoming setting. If you feel your child needs more than friendly and caring staff and a fun and welcoming environment in order to make it through the appointment, we also offer several sedation options here at Pediatric Special Care that can help put your child at ease.Our sedation options vary in their strength so that our Albuquerque pediatric dental specialist can work with you and your child to provide them with the sedation option that is the most effective and the safest for them. One sedation option that we have available is nitrous oxide, which is commonly referred to as laughing gas. Nitrous oxide is administered orally and puts your child in a relaxed and happy state while still remaining conscious and aware. It creates a general good mood throughout the length of the appointment so that your child will no longer feel worried or upset. We also have other conscious sedation methods available. For more severe cases of anxiety, or if your child needs to undergo an extensive procedure, our Albuquerque pediatric dental specialist may recommend sleep dentistry, or unconscious sedation. We have an excellent anesthesiologist on staff right here at Pediatric Special Care so that sedation methods are always administered safely and with extra care. Our Albuquerque pediatric dental specialist can make recommendations about sedation dentistry for your child during your next visit with us.
