Admin - Bright Star Sapphire Dental

Safety is our number one priority at Bright Star Sapphire Dental. We want children to feel safe and relaxed when they have to come see us for an appointment. Making sure a child feels comfortable and calm during any dental visit is extremely important.

In many cases there are ways to help make a child feel calm when they have to visit the dentist. Our practice offers different types of sedation options for children to help keep them at ease during a visit. If a child has had a previous negative experience it may be difficult for them to go to another dentist and sit calmly through an appointment.

What Sedative Options Do You Offer?

We offer safe options for our patients to help make their experience at our office an exceptional one! Below are some sedative options that our dental office in Fair Lawn, NJ provides:

Nitrous Oxide:

This method of sedation is also referred to as “laughing gas”, and is a safe and effective way to keep patients relaxed and happy. Nitrous Oxide keeps patients relaxed, but they are still awake during a procedure or appointment. Patients can still respond to the dentist, and the effects will wear off instantly when the procedure is complete.

Mild Sedation:

This method is induced using drugs administered orally, and only done when Nitrous Oxide will not be enough. This method is also safe, and the child’s weight and age are used to determine the recommended dose for treatment.

Deep Sedation:

This method of sedation is done using intravenous drugs, and with this method the child is completely asleep during the procedure. This method is only used with absolutely necessary, and the other two methods are not appropriate for the treatment needed.

Many parents may wonder when it is the right time to find a good dentist for their child. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD) recommends that parents seek out a dentist for their child by the age of one, or when they notice the first signs of a tooth erupting in the child’s mouth. Primary teeth usually begin to erupt around six months of age.

Many parents feel their child is too young to see a dentist, or that they don’t have enough teeth, but visiting a dentist helps to make sure baby teeth are coming in properly. It is important to keep primary teeth in place until they are lost naturally.

What Are the Benefits of Primary Teeth?

We offer safe options for our patients to help make their experience at our office an exceptional one! Below are some sedative options that our dental office in Fair Lawn, NJ provides:

Helping children with their speech development.
Primary teeth save space for future adult teeth.
Primary teeth promote a healthy smile, and give kids confidence about their appearance.

Help children to chew properly.

Starting your child out right with proper dental care helps set the stage to build a good oral hygiene routine. Establishing a relationship with your child’s dentist will help the child to understand how important it is to take care of your teeth, and visit a dentist regularly.

As part of the routine visit the dentist can check for any issues as the child grows older. Preventative care is important to keep your child’s teeth looking and feeling their best.
