Nitrous oxide, often referred to as “laughing gas,” is a safe and effective sedative composed of a  blend of nitrogen and oxygen. It’s delivered through a soft, comfortable mask placed over your  child’s nose. Nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation that helps alleviate anxiety, allowing your  child to remain calm and relaxed during their dental procedure. Importantly, your child stays  fully awake and aware throughout the process yet feels at ease.

The effects of nitrous oxide are quick-acting, and once the procedure is complete, your child  breathes in regular oxygen through the mask for just a few minutes, allowing them to return to  their normal state before leaving the office. 

While every child’s needs are unique, nitrous oxide is often a great solution to reduce stress and  help the dental visit feel more manageable. It helps make the treatment feel quicker and more  comfortable, providing a gentle and effective way to ensure your child’s comfort during their  visit. There are many forms of sedation to help your child through his or her appointment.
