Sedation
Dentistry helps young children receive dental treatment who otherwise would
not receive it. There are different options for sedation dentistry that can
be used to help apprehensive children relax and allow Dr. Sklar to restore
their mouth to a healthy state. After an initial examination Dr. Sklar will
discuss the different options.
Nitrous Oxide
Often the use of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) helps the anxious child relax so treatment can be preformed comfortably. In many situations this eliminates the need for hospital treatment under general anesthesia.
Hospital Dentistry
Dr. Sklar is trained in treating children’s dental needs in a hospital environment when necessary. Dr. Sklar is an attending dentist at John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey. Often patients that require hospital dentistry are the child with extensive dental care needs, including infants and the mentally and physically handicapped.
Candidates for Sedation dentistry include:
- Infants
- Children that have very extensive dental needs
- The very apprehensive child
- Children that have a very strong gag reflex
- Children that have had traumatic dental experiences
- Children that do not like the sounds and smells associated with dental care
- The medically compromised child
- The mentally handicapped
