PAINLESS DENTISTRY

Many kids OR even adults feel anxious about dental visits, so we have equipped ourselves to use some child-friendly techniques to keep them calm and comfortable to reward you and your child with a positive dental experience.

1. Distraction – an effective behavior guiding method by which we distract the child from their fear of dental treatment using various audio visual aids , toys , magic etc..

2. Desensitization: If no emergency management is needed , we introduce child to dentistry in a step-by-step manner by which, the child can understand the dental procedures and be more comfortable during the treatment.

a) Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”) – CONSCIOUS SEDATION

  • A mild sedative that helps children relax during treatment.
  • Wears off quickly and is very safe.

b) Oral Sedation

  1. A liquid medication given before the procedure to help a child stay calm.
  2. Used for children with severe anxiety or those needing extensive treatment.

c) General Anesthesia (GA)

  • Used for very young children, children with special needs, or those requiring extensive dental work.
  • The child sleeps through the procedure under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.
