Pediatric IV Sedation Dentistry in Los Feliz, Los Angeles

Making Dental Visits Comfortable for Every Child in Los Feliz

Ensuring your child’s dental health is a top priority, but for some children, visiting the dentist can feel intimidating. At Griffith Pediatric Dentistry, located in the heart of Los Feliz, Los Angeles, we understand that every child has unique needs — and that dental anxiety or special health considerations require extra care and attention.

That’s why we offer safe, in-house IV sedation for children, creating a calm, comfortable, and stress-free dental experience. With our caring team and specialized expertise in pediatric dentistry, we’re committed to providing gentle, compassionate care tailored to your child’s individual needs.

What Is IV Sedation in Pediatric Dentistry?

IV sedation (intravenous sedation) is a trusted and effective option for children who experience severe dental anxiety, have special needs, or require more extensive dental treatment. This form of sedation helps your child relax deeply so they remain completely comfortable during the procedure.

Throughout the visit, your child is closely monitored by our highly trained team to ensure the highest level of safety and care from start to finish.

Benefits of In-House Sedation at Griffith Pediatric Dentistry

Choosing in-house sedation services at our Los Feliz pediatric dental office offers several key advantages:

• Convenience: All procedures are performed right here in our comfortable, child-friendly environment — no need to travel to multiple facilities.
• Continuity of Care: Our familiar team, who knows your child’s dental history and needs, manages every step of the process.
• Safety: We adhere to the highest medical and dental safety standards, providing peace of mind for parents.

With our in-office IV sedation, children can receive the dental treatment they need without fear or stress.

Is IV Sedation Right for Your Child?

Determining whether sedation is right for your child begins with a thorough evaluation by our pediatric dental team. We consider several factors, including:

• Anxiety Levels: For children who experience severe dental fear, sedation can make visits calm and positive.
• Special Needs: Children with certain medical, developmental, or behavioral challenges may benefit greatly from sedation.
• Extensive Treatment: For longer or more complex procedures, IV sedation allows your child to remain comfortable while ensuring efficient care.

Our goal is to create a dental experience that meets your child’s emotional and physical needs — safely and gently.

Preparing for Your Child’s Sedation Appointment

A smooth sedation experience begins with proper preparation. Here’s how to help your child feel ready and at ease:

• Follow Pre-Procedure Instructions: Our team will provide detailed guidelines, including any fasting requirements.
• Bring a Comfort Item: A favorite stuffed animal or blanket can help your child feel secure.
• Plan for Rest: Your child may feel drowsy afterward, so plan for a calm, restful day at home.

We’ll guide you through every step — before, during, and after your child’s visit — so you feel confident and informed.
