Safe Dental Sedation

We want to make sure that your child feels as comfortable as possible during their visit — and to talk to us if they feel nervous! Our Growing Smiles Pediatric Dentistry team in North Carolina works to create a fun, playful, child-friendly atmosphere and also offers safe, effective pediatric sedation options to ease anxiety and promote well-being. You can book online or give us a call today to learn more and schedule your child’s appointment!

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is a gas commonly used by dentists to reduce discomfort and relieve anxious feelings. If your child would benefit from using nitrous during a procedure, our team will carefully help them place a breathing mask over their face to allow them to inhale a steady flow of nitrous and oxygen. Your child will be able to breathe comfortably and normally while feeling an increased sense of ease and well-being.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is another great option to help your child feel more comfortable going to the dentist. Because oral sedation comes in pill form, we can prescribe it ahead of time so that your child can take their dose before they even arrive at our practice. This will help soothe any anxiety and gently nudge them into a relaxed, sleepy state that should last throughout their appointment.
