The thought of visiting the dentist can often evoke feelings of anxiety, not only in adults but especially in children.  For many young ones, the unfamiliarity of the environment, the sights, and the sounds of dental tools can be quite scary.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 949 Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we understand these fears and have made it our mission to transform the dental experience for children into something positive, comfortable, and even enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Pediatric Dental Anxiety Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental anxiety in children is more than just a passing worry. It’s a real concern that can have lasting consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When children are afraid of the dentist, they may resist or even refuse dental treatment. This avoidance can lead to untreated tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues, which can snowball into more complex problems down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A negative dental experience early on can create a lifelong aversion to dental care. Children who associate dental visits with fear and discomfort may continue to avoid the dentist as adults, increasing their risk of developing serious oral health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n

Your Guide to Pediatric Sedation Dentistry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What exactly is sedation dentistry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the use of medication to help children relax during dental procedures. This can range from mild sedation, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas), to deeper sedation through oral medication. The level of sedation chosen is tailored to your child’s specific needs, taking into account their age, health history, and the type of procedure they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
