Sedation Dentistry at Children's Dentistry of Abilene
Sedation dentistry is a safe way to relax or even sleep through your dental procedures. We offer a range of options, including: minimal sedation (laughing gas), moderate sedation (a little more relaxed), deep sedation (still conscious and can be awakened, but not aware of sensation or anxiety) which is reserved for more involved oral surgeries.
One of the most common issues patients and dentists face is dental anxiety. If you are apprehensive about visiting the dentist, IV-sedation will likely be the right choice for you. We have had patients that had not seen a dentist for decades finally be able to receive care again. Neglecting regular dental care is taking a risk with your overall health.

Staff is always friendly. The dentist explained everything that was happening in my sons mouth. We did not feel rushed and loved that he was the only patient at his time of the appointment.
