Nitrous oxide is a very safe and effective sedative gas that may be used to calm a child during their dental visit. It works quickly, reverses easily, and is non-allergenic. Your child stays awake the entire visit.
The gas is delivered through a mask on the nose, and the nitrous oxide gas is blended with oxygen so we are able to control how much they are receiving. At the end of treatment, we completely eliminate the effects of nitrous oxide with oxygen.
