Sedation Dentistry for Kids
Professional dental care is essential for children to maintain optimal oral health. For those who may resist treatment, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can play a crucial role in allowing for the delivery of treatment. It helps children relax, enabling them to cope better and cooperate during their appointments, ultimately leading to shorter and more effective treatment sessions.
Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective technique used to manage dental pain and anxiety. It also has the added benefit of suppressing the gag reflex, which is a common difficulty towards delivering dental care in the pediatric population. While using nitrous oxide, your child can respond throughout the procedure, and they maintain their protective reflexes. Nitrous oxide is rapidly removed from the body after turning it off. We then let your child breath 100% oxygen for five minutes to further reduce any lingering effects from the nitrous oxide.
