Children who may benefit from sedation include those with significant dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, sensory sensitivities, or who need multiple procedures completed in one visit. Your dentist at KDC will review your child’s medical history, current medications, and overall health before recommending the most appropriate sedation option — ensuring it is both safe and suited to their individual needs.
