Sedation Dentistry for Children in Sarasota, FL

At Give Me A Smile Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that visiting the dentist can be a daunting experience for some children. That’s why we offer specialized sedation dentistry services to ensure every child feels comfortable and relaxed during their visit. Led by Dr. Jerry Chery, DDS, our Sarasota, FL practice is dedicated to providing compassionate, stress-free care for young patients, including those from nearby Lakewood Ranch.

Why Choose Sedation Dentistry for Your Child?

Sedation dentistry is an excellent option for children who experience dental anxiety, have special needs, or require complex dental treatments. At Give Me A Smile, we offer safe and effective sedation options tailored to your child’s specific needs. Sedation helps children relax, reduces fear, and allows Dr. Jerry Chery to perform necessary procedures with greater ease and efficiency.

Whether your child is nervous about a routine dental cleaning or needs help staying calm during a more involved treatment, sedation dentistry can make the entire experience smoother and more comfortable, ensuring that your child leaves our office with a positive outlook on dental care.

Our Sedation Dentistry Options

We offer a range of sedation options designed to meet the unique needs of each child:

Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”): Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that helps relax children while keeping them awake and responsive. It’s administered through a small mask placed over the nose and wears off quickly, allowing your child to return to their normal activities after the appointment.
Oral Sedation: For children with higher levels of anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures, oral sedation is an excellent option. Your child will take medication prior to their appointment, helping them feel calm and drowsy but still conscious.
General Anesthesia: For extensive dental work or in cases where other forms of sedation aren’t sufficient, we offer general anesthesia in a controlled environment. This option ensures your child is completely asleep during the procedure, providing a safe and pain-free experience.

Creating a Calm, Safe Environment for Every Child

Our goal at Give Me A Smile Pediatric Dentistry is to create a positive and comfortable dental experience for every child. Dr. Jerry Chery and our caring team take extra steps to ensure your child feels safe and understood. We carefully explain each sedation option to parents and tailor our approach to best suit your child’s needs, ensuring a safe and supportive environment throughout their visit.
