Is your child facing dental work for multiple teeth? This can feel daunting for you as their parent and for them!
But the good news is that there are options for sedation dentistry in Decatur, IL, that can help them comfortably and safely receive the dental treatment they need without having a bad experience. Hospital sedation allows Dr. Bret to treat multiple teeth while your child experiences deep relaxation as if they were sleeping.
Who Is Hospital Sedation For?
Dr. Bret may suggest hospital sedation for kids in these situations:
- Have bad gag reflexes
- Experience difficulties sitting still for long periods
- Have physical, emotional, or behavioral special needs
- Need extensive, time-intensive treatment
- Have severe dental anxiety, fear, or phobia
Hospital sedation allows our team to complete complex treatment procedures while your child relaxes comfortably.
What to Expect During Hospital Sedation
Our team is here to support you and your child throughout the entire process. We will review the procedures and requirements during an initial evaluation so parents clearly understand what happens on the day of treatment.
Your child's treatment is completed on Fridays at Saint Mary's Hospital in Decatur, IL. You'll meet our team there, and when treatment is completed, we'll send you home with full instructions on successful aftercare at home.
