When it comes to sedation dentistry for children there’s always a bit of a line you must ride. Children take sedation a lot differently than adults because their bodies are not fully developed. Having a dentist who knows their way around a child’s mouth as well as knowing how much sedation a little one can take is really a great benefit to you. To have a child sedated is just as risky as over sedating adults. So if you need to have work done on your child’s mouth that is going to involve sedation, consider a pediatric dentist first. You may just thank yourself later on.
