frontdesk@morningstarchildrensdentistry.comOur compassionate pediatric dentist and team understand that dental procedures can be intimidating for young patients. That is why we offer nitrous oxide sedation — a safe, effective solution to ease dental anxieties and ensure a comfortable experience for your child.
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as ‘laughing gas’, is ideal for children who feel nervous or fearful about dental treatments. It is often used for procedures ranging from routine cleanings to more involved treatments. This sedation option is particularly beneficial for children with special needs, high anxiety levels or those undergoing longer dental procedures.
During the procedure, your child will breathe in nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen through a small mask placed over their nose. The gas helps them feel relaxed and comfortable, yet fully awake and responsive. Its effects are mild and wear off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing your child to return to their normal activities shortly after the appointment.
Nitrous oxide is a safe, controlled method to reduce dental anxiety in children. It minimizes fear and discomfort, making the dental experience more pleasant. It also helps in managing gag reflex and makes it easier for children to receive the necessary dental care without distress.
