What Is Sleep Dentistry for Kids?

Sleep dentistry is a friendly way of describing sedation that lets your child sleep, or doze comfortably, through their dental treatment. Rather than one single technique, it covers the options we tailor to your child so the visit is calm and stress-free.

Depending on your child's needs, it may mean oral sedation that makes them very drowsy, or general anesthesia for deeper, fully-asleep care.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Sleep dentistry is ideal for children with significant dental anxiety, very young children needing a lot of treatment, and many kids with special healthcare needs. If your child has had a hard time at the dentist before, we'd love to help make the next visit a better one.

We'll always choose the lightest, safest option that lets your child rest easy and get the care they need.

Common questions

Is my child fully asleep with sleep dentistry?

It depends on the option chosen. Lighter sedation leaves them very drowsy but awake, while general anesthesia means they're fully asleep. We tailor it to your child.

How do you decide which option to use?

We consider your child's age, anxiety level, health history, and how much treatment is needed, then recommend the lightest, safest option that works.

Is sleep dentistry only for kids with anxiety?

No. It also helps very young children, those needing extensive treatment, and many children with special healthcare needs.
