Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation
Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation that is safe to use on children. Capable of calming anxiety-ridden patients, it is a colorless and odorless gas that is inhaled through a nasal mask. Once placed on your child’s face, they will begin to breathe in the mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. They will soon begin to feel more comfortable and relaxed, allowing our team to complete necessary work that is designed to improve their smile. Once the mask is removed and the gas is turned off, the effects will quickly dissipate, allowing your little one to resume normal activity immediately following their appointment.
General Anesthesiology
If general anesthesiology is recommended for your child, it is likely because they suffer from extreme dental anxiety or are preparing to undergo multiple dental treatments during one appointment. We will administer the medication via an IV that is inserted in the hand or bend of the elbow. Soon, your child will be fully sedated, allowing them to sleep through the entire procedure. Our team will closely monitor them to ensure their safety throughout the appointment. Once the IV is removed, they will likely remain groggy the rest of the day and will be required to return home and rest.
