We believe that preventative dentistry is the best approach for children. Enforcing a strong sense of dental hygiene and the habits that go along with it. This will ensure that there are fewer complications and issues growing up.
SC Dental Best uses the latest technology to keep our treatments as eco-friendly as possible. From Digital Radiographs that use 90% less radiation to resin composite fillings, our goal is to provide the safest dental solutions for your children.
It might seem strange to start dental care so early but it can make a difference. Cavities can begin to form as soon as teeth appear (even baby teeth). Learning good habits and becoming comfortable with regular dental care can create beautiful smiles for years to come.
Our goals for Oral Conscious sedation in our young / pediatric patients are to guard the patients safety and welfare, to minimize physical discomfort and pain, to control anxiety, minimize psychological trauma, to modify behavior and/or movement so as to allow the safe completion of the procedure and to be able to return the patient to a state in which their discharge from our dental supervision to the patient's parents is safe.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recognizes nitrous oxide/oxygen inhalation as a safe and effective technique to reduce anxiety, produce analgesia, and enhance effective communication between a patient and health care provider.
Nitrous oxide is a colorless and virtually odorless gas with a faint, sweet smell. It is an effective analgesic/anxiolytic agent causing central nervous system (CNS) depression and euphoria with little effect on the respiratory system.
Nitrous oxide is absorbed rapidly, allowing for both rapid onset and recovery (two to three minutes). It causes minimal impairment of any reflexes, thus protecting the cough reflex. It exhibits a superior safety profile with no recorded fatalities or cases of serious morbidity when used within recommended concentrations
