Nitrous oxide is a commonly used form of pediatric sedation treatment. Also known as laughing gas, it helps children relax during their dental visit. The gas is administered through a small nasal mask, and your child will feel calm, relaxed, and free from anxiety. Nitrous oxide is a quick-acting, safe, and effective method for managing dental anxiety in children.
For children who require a bit more help with anxiety, we offer oral sedation. This method involves giving your child a medication that helps them feel relaxed and calm before their dental procedure. While your child remains awake, oral sedation can reduce fear and make the procedure easier to manage. It’s a great option for kids who need more than just nitrous oxide but don’t require general anesthesia.
In some cases, especially for younger children or those undergoing extensive dental work, general anesthesia may be necessary as part of pediatric sedation treatment. Under general anesthesia, your child will be fully asleep and unaware during the procedure. This allows us to perform multiple or lengthy treatments in a single visit without causing stress or anxiety for the child.
