Why sedation may be discussed
Children can have different needs when receiving dental care, and the treatment being planned also matters. The pediatric dental team evaluates each child’s situation before discussing the available sedation options with a parent or guardian.
This conversation gives parents an opportunity to share concerns and ask questions. It does not mean that the same option will be recommended for every child.
Nitrous oxide and IV sedation
Atlantis offers both nitrous oxide and IV sedation for pediatric dental patients when appropriate. These are different sedation options and are not presented as interchangeable choices.
The option to discuss depends on the child and the planned dental treatment. Read our sedation dentistry overview or learn about IV sedation.
