Sedation Services
We offer the different forms of sedation. If you would like more information on the varying forms of sedation please discuss with the doctor.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide eis an inhaled gas that helps reduce anxiety and mkes dental treatment easier for the patient. The doctor will discuss this option with each parent and help the parents to make the decision if this is best for their child.

Oral Sedation
In certain situations a child may need extra help to cooperate during dental treatment for these children our office offers oral sedation. The doctor will discuss this option with each parent and help the parents to make the decision if this is best for their child.

General Anesthesia
Patients with severe decay and/or uncooperative behavior may benefit from having treatment completed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia. The facility at Zeeland Community Hospital allows us to safely and efficiently treat these cases in one visit. We perform full mouth reconstruction two to three Friday’s each month and provide treatment for up to 3 patients per Friday. If you feel that your child would benefit from this, please talk with Dr. Port or one of our staff members.
