Sedation Dentistry For Kids in Roanoke, VA
Enjoy a Calm, Comfortable Visit
Going to the dentist can be an intimidating experience for children, but at We Care Dental Care, Dr. Burkitt is changing the way both kids and adults think of dental appointments. We provide everything you'll need for a smooth, enjoyable visit, including the option of nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas," helps keep your child comfortable and relaxed, and we offer personalized treatment tailored to their specific needs. Whether your little one has a minor case of nerves or they will be undergoing a longer treatment, feel free to ask us about our nitrous oxide option during your appointment!
What is Laughing Gas and Is it suitable for my Child?
Laughing gas is a sedative that makes patients feel euphoric and calm. This option is ideal for children who may be slightly nervous about their dental appointment. Laughing gas is easily administered through a comfortable mask during your child’s treatment, and it wears off very quickly after the mask is removed. This means that you and your little one can enjoy the rest of your day as you normally would once your child’s treatment is complete.
Comfort Options for Your Child's Dental Visit
The best approach for your child's comfort depends on the procedure they'll receive, their age, anxiety level, and other individual factors. During your appointment, Dr. Burkitt will take the time to get to know your child and assess their specific needs. He'll explain how nitrous oxide can help ease anxiety and whether it's suitable for your child's particular situation. For cases requiring deeper sedation, Dr. Burkitt can provide referrals to trusted specialists. Our priority is ensuring your child feels comfortable and secure throughout their entire dental experience. Dr. Burkitt will carefully discuss all available options, whether that's using nitrous oxide in our office or connecting you with specialized care for more complex needs, to help you make the best decision for your child's comfort and well-being.
