Nitrous Oxide


Nitrous oxide, sometimes referred to as “laughing gas,” is an effective and safe sedation agent that is inhaled through a mask that fits over your child's nose to help them relax. Mixed with oxygen, Nitrous oxide allows the patient to breathe normally through their nose and within minutes they should start to feel the effects. They may feel light-headed or a tingling in their arms and legs. Some patients comment that their legs and arms feel heavy. Ultimately, they should feel comfortable and calm. The effects of nitrous oxide wear of quickly after the small mask is removed. Talk to the doctor about whether nitrous oxide would be a good option for your child.

Most pediatric dental procedures are completed using local anesthesia. However, very young, fearful or uncooperative children may require sedation. Depending upon your child’s health history, temperament, age and dental care needs, your dentist and our physicians will recommend the type of sedation that is best for your child. Safety will always be the number one priority in every aspect of your child’s care. In conjunction Pediatric Dental Anesthesia Associates, we offer in office IV Sedation that is admininistered by a qualified Pediatric Anesthesiologist if necessary.
