What Is Sedation Dentistry for Kids?

Sedation dentistry means using medications to help children relax during dental procedures. It’s particularly helpful for children with dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or those undergoing more complex treatments. At South Okanagan Kids Dental, we offer different types of sedation, monitored by our skilled team.
