What is Sedation Dentistry?
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medications to help children relax during dental procedures. At our Frisco office, we offer a range of options from mild inhaled sedation (laughing gas) to general anesthesia for more involved procedures. Sedation can make dental care easier for children by reducing fear, limiting movement, and making longer treatments feel shorter. Every option is carefully tailored to your child’s unique needs to ensure a positive experience.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative delivered through a small nose mask. It helps reduce anxiety and wears off quickly, allowing your child to return to normal activities right away. It’s great for routine procedures and nervous first-timers.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral Conscious Sedation
Taken before treatment, this medication helps children feel drowsy, relaxed, and less aware of the dental procedure. It’s ideal for longer visits or patients with moderate anxiety, and allows them to remain awake but deeply calm.
General Anesthesia

General Anesthesia
For more complex procedures or high-anxiety patients, general anesthesia may be recommended. It allows your child to sleep through the entire appointment. We coordinate care with licensed pediatric anesthesiologists to ensure safety and comfort at every stage.
