Sedation
in Eastvale, CA
Sedation helps children feel calm, comfortable, and safe during dental procedures—especially if they have high anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or need extensive treatment. At Eastvale Kids Dental Studio, we provide a secure and welcoming environment that caters to the unique needs of young patients. Our space is designed with children in mind, from the playful décor to the gentle approach of our staff, making sure that your child feels comfortable and relaxed.
We offer several sedation options tailored to your child's age, health, and emotional needs. Whether it's mild relaxation or deeper sedation, our compassionate team walks you through each option so you can feel confident in your child's care. With sedation available right here in our office, even the most complex treatments can be completed with ease.
Many children feel nervous about dental visits—sedation helps them feel more relaxed and comfortable in the chair while reducing pain sensitivity and making patients less avoidant of necessary dental work for future visits.
Sedation can make it easier to complete multiple procedures in one visit by alleviating restlessness and sensitive gag reflexes, allowing the dentist to get more work done in fewer appointments and minimizing stress and time away from school or work.
Sedation can help create a smoother experience for children who may have sensory sensitivities, behavioral needs, or difficulty staying still during treatment by reducing restlessness and allowing for more comprehensive care in a comfortable setting.
Our sedation options
Nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide
Also known as "laughing gas", this safe and gentle form of sedation helps ease mild anxiety and creates a relaxed, floaty feeling. It wears off quickly after the visit, so kids can return to their normal routine the same day.
IV Sedation (Coming Soon!)
IV Sedation (Coming Soon!)
Intravenous (IV) sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation than oral medications, while your child remains responsive. This option is ideal for children with significant anxiety or more complex treatment needs, and will be available at our office soon.
General Anesthesia (Coming Soon!)
General Anesthesia (Coming Soon!)
For children with extensive treatment needs, high anxiety, or special healthcare considerations, general anesthesia allows dental care to be completed while your child is fully asleep in a safe, controlled setting. This ensures a comfortable and stress-free experience while all necessary dental work is completed in one visit.
Local anesthesia
Local anesthesia
We use local anesthesia during most procedures to completely numb the treatment area and prevent discomfort. Combined with our calming chairside manner, this helps make every visit as smooth and pain-free as possible.

FAQs
Yes. Sedation dentistry is safe when administered by trained professionals in a controlled setting. At Eastvale Kids Dental Studio, we tailor each sedation plan to your child’s needs, medical history, and procedure. For deeper sedation or general anesthesia, we work with a licensed pediatric anesthesiologist to ensure the highest standard of safety.
We'll help you decide during your consultation. Dr. Amy and our team will review your child's medical background, treatment needs, and comfort level to recommend the most appropriate option—whether that's laughing gas for a quick filling, IV sedation for children with high dental fear or complex procedures, or general anesthesia for full-mouth treatment. For IV sedation and general anesthesia, a certified anesthesiologist will administer and continuously monitor your child's vital signs throughout the procedure for complete safety and peace of mind.
It depends on the type of sedation used. With nitrous oxide, your child will remain awake but relaxed. IV sedation and general anesthesia create deeper sedation levels—your child may fall asleep or be fully asleep for the entire procedure. We’ll explain exactly what to expect and keep you informed every step of the way.
