Sleep dentistry for children

Sleep dental treatment – is an opportunity to perform all the necessary procedures on a child without stress and discomfort. The baby only needs to breathe through a mask, and light sedatives will put him into a medical sleep. When the child wakes up, his teeth will be completely healthy.

Sedation is significantly different from anesthesia. It relaxes the nervous system and induces a state of superficial sleep, but has almost no effect on the work of the heart, lungs and other organs.

At «Oxford Medical» sleep dental treatment for children is performed by specialists with many years of experience. During the procedure, an anesthesiologist works, who monitors the child's condition using monitoring equipment.

Every year, more and more parents choose dental treatment in their children's sleep.

The main advantages of sedation are:

• the child does not experience stress and discomfort;

• treatment of several teeth in one session;

• the possibility of carrying out therapy at an early age.

Medicated sleep allows you to protect your child from stress and form a positive attitude towards dental care. This will help them not to be afraid of visiting the dentist in the future and undergo all procedures on time.

At «Oxford Medical», light sedatives are used for medical sleep, which have a relaxing effect on the nervous system and immerse the child in a superficial sleep. At the same time, the work of the cardiovascular, respiratory or other systems is not disturbed.

The drugs used are considered to be among the most effective and safest. They do not accumulate in the body, do not cause allergic reactions and allow the child to be easily awakened immediately after the procedure.

The department of pediatric dentistry “Oxford Medical” has created all the conditions for the safe use of sedation. New equipment for monitoring vital functions allows the anesthesiologist to monitor the child's well-being and the depth of medical sleep, as well as to change the dosage of drugs if necessary.

Sedation does not affect the general well-being and, with proper preparation, does not cause complications. After the procedure, the child wakes up immediately and can leave the clinic with his parents.

In case of emergency situations, which cannot be completely ruled out even with careful preparation, the clinic has everything necessary to provide appropriate assistance.

Dental treatment in children should be not only effective and painless, but also comfortable. In some cases, only medical sleep can achieve this.

The Oxford Medical clinic has new expert-class equipment and employs experienced dentists who know how to find an approach to each little patient.

Before undergoing dental treatment under sedation, the child should be brought to the dentist for a preliminary consultation. The doctor should assess the condition of the teeth and draw up a treatment plan.

It is also recommended to undergo an examination by a pediatrician and, if necessary, to do a cardiogram and some tests.

In the presence of chronic diseases, consultation with an anesthesiologist may be required.

After resolving the preparatory issues, parents make an appointment at the dentist and come with the baby at the chosen time.

Treatment of teeth in a child's sleep consists of the following stages:

1. A specialist who is already familiar to the baby takes him to the treatment room and helps him sit in a comfortable dental chair.

2. The doctor gives the child an oxygen mask and asks him to breathe through it for a while.

3. Within 1 or 2 minutes, the child falls asleep.

4. After that, doctors connect the sensors of the device that monitors the heart rate, breathing and other body functions.

5. The dentist then performs all the necessary manipulations - from 1 to 5 or more milk and root teeth can be treated during a session.

6. After the end of the therapy, the anesthesiologist immediately takes the child out of medical sleep and checks their well-being.

During the treatment, parents can stay with the child or wait for them in the clinic lobby.
