Dental Sedation for Children in the Greater Toronto Area
Dental Sedation for Kids
We know that some kids feel nervous about visiting the dentist, and others may need a lot of treatment done in one visit. That’s why we offer different types of dental sedation to help make the experience easier and more comfortable. Every child is different, so we tailor our approach to fit their unique needs.
If your child has dental anxiety, let us know, as this knowledge will help us plan the most supportive care possible. Our doctors will talk with you and your child to see if sedation is the right choice and, if so, which option would work best.
At Treehouse Dental Care, our goal is always to help your child feel safe and at ease. In addition to our sedation options, we’ll move at their pace, take breaks when needed, and provide calm, caring support throughout their appointment.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose. It helps kids feel calm and relaxed while staying awake and able to talk. This gentle sedation can ease anxiety, raise their tolerance for discomfort, reduce the gag reflex, and even make the appointment feel like it goes by faster.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedatives come in the form of a pill or liquid that your dentist prescribes. They're taken at our office before the appointment and can help your child feel deeply relaxed while still staying awake during the procedure. It’s a simple way to ease nerves and create a much more comfortable experience.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia puts your child into a deep, sleep-like state, so they won’t feel any pain or discomfort during their dental treatment. It’s a safe and effective option for more complex procedures, often allowing everything to be done in just one visit while your child sleeps comfortably.
New Patients Always Welcome
We offer kid-friendly dental services provided by general dentists and pediatric specialists at three convenient locations in the Greater Toronto Area. Contact us today to book your child's appointment.
