Dental visits can be intimidating for any child, but for some, the fear or discomfort associated with dental treatments is overwhelming. At 918 Dentist, with convenient locations in Glenpool and Sperry, OK, we specialize in sedation dentistry for children, ensuring stress-free and effective dental care for all families in the Tulsa area. Dr. Parnham Mohanna, an experienced and compassionate dentist, is dedicated to creating a safe environment for children, especially those with special needs, through tailored sedation techniques.
Understanding Sedation Dentistry for Kids
Sedation dentistry involves using medications to help children relax during dental procedures. It’s particularly beneficial for children with dental anxiety, special healthcare needs, or those requiring complex treatments. By employing this technique, we ensure every child has a positive experience at the dentist’s office, setting the foundation for lifelong oral health.
Types of Sedation Offered at 918 Dentist
1. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Perfect for routine dental treatments, this mild sedative helps children feel at ease. It’s administered via a mask and wears off quickly after the procedure.
2. Oral Sedation: Delivered as a liquid, this method is suitable for children with moderate anxiety or for more complex procedures requiring deeper relaxation.
3. IV Sedation: Ideal for extensive treatments or high levels of anxiety, IV sedation provides a deeper state of relaxation. Dr. Mohanna and the team closely monitor children throughout to ensure safety.
4. General Anesthesia: Reserved for severe cases of anxiety or specific medical conditions, this method allows the child to sleep through the procedure entirely. We collaborate with parents to choose the most suitable sedation type for their child, prioritizing comfort and safety during every visit.
Why Sedation Dentistry is Safe and Effective
At 918 Dentist, safety is at the core of our sedation dentistry practice. Dr. Mohanna is certified in pediatric sedation techniques, ensuring every child’s experience is both safe and effective. Before any procedure, we conduct a comprehensive review of the child’s medical history to identify the best sedation option. During the treatment, our team monitors the child’s vital signs closely, ensuring their well-being throughout the process. This approach minimizes fear and anxiety, making dental visits more accessible and manageable for children who might otherwise struggle to receive essential care.

We take pride in offering specialized dental care for children with special needs. Dr. Mohanna and his team understand the unique challenges these children face and provide individualized treatment plans that emphasize patience, comfort, and respect. With the use of sedation dentistry, we ensure that every child feels secure and supported, regardless of the complexity of their needs.
