Safe Sedation at Mini Mouths
Mini Mouths – Dentistry & Braces For Kids
KEEPING OUR PATIENTS AT EASE DURING VISITS
Do you have a child who is terrified of going to the dentist, or a child who simply will not sit still in the dental office chair? If so, sedation may be the solution! Sedation relaxes the patient, turning a nerve-racking visit into a calm, soothing one. As a Coral Springs, Boca Raton & Pembroke Pines kids dental office, we understand the importance of safety when it comes to dental sedation. We can assure you that we will only use sedation practices that are safe for your young one.
HOW NITROUS OXIDE WORKS
Our office uses nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas,” to sedate our patients. It is breathed in through a small mask that is placed over the nose.
Here are a few facts you should know about nitrous oxide:
• It is recognized as an effective and safe sedation method.
• It will only take a few minutes to go into effect.
• It will not put the patient to sleep.
• It will make the patient feel calm and will even raise his / her pain threshold.
• If you think nitrous oxide might benefit your child for his or her next dental visit, ask us about our sedation services.
