At Grand Smiles Bensenville, we understand that some children may feel anxious or have difficulty sitting through dental procedures. That’s why we offer both Conscious Sedation with Nitrous Oxide and General Anesthesia to ensure your child feels safe, calm, and comfortable during their visit.
Conscious Sedation with Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a gentle and effective way to reduce anxiety. It’s inhaled through a soft mask placed over the nose and takes effect quickly. Because the gas is mixed with oxygen and wears off within minutes after the procedure, most children can return to their normal activities the same day.
General Anesthesia is used for more complex procedures or for very anxious children. It is administered by a specialized anesthesiology team that our dentist works in conjunction with, allowing your child to be fully sedated and asleep throughout the entire visit. This approach ensures their safety and comfort during treatment, especially when deeper sedation is necessary.
Our priority is to provide compassionate, individualized care tailored to your child’s needs—always in the safest environment possible.
Choose Grand Smiles for your child’s dental journey, where smiles are our priority and healthy habits begin!
