Does your child need a long, complicated dental procedure? Does your child experience high dental anxiety that often interferes with treatment? Here at Joplin Children’s Dentistry, we provide two sedation dentistry options to help your child relax while visiting our office.

LAUGHING GAS

Laughing gas is our most commonly used sedation method. The gas doesn’t put your child to sleep, but promotes relaxation and works effectively against anxiety.

At Joplin Children’s Dentistry, we want your child to have a pleasant dental experience! Our sedation methods can help ease anxieties and provide relief for your child. Call us today to schedule an appointment and see what we can do for you.

We practice safe sedation methods and provide information that can help the process run more smoothly. Our Doctors are experienced Pediatric Dentists who provide great results and understand how sedation dentistry works. We will tell you exactly what is going to happen when we administer sedation, as well as answer any questions you might have.

IV SEDATION

For our very anxious patients or for patients who need complex treatment, we might recommend IV sedation. Older children won’t be able to drive; make sure someone can drive to and from the appointment.

With intravenous, or IV, sedation, the medication is administered directly into a vein so it takes effect quickly. Your child will need some recovery time in the office because IV sedation takes some time to leave the bloodstream. We will make sure your child feels okay and give you any additional instruction before you go.
