Sometimes, children are too fearful to receive necessary dental treatment. When this happens, conscious sedation with nitrous oxide may be recommended to help make your child’s experience of dental treatment stress-free.

Nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” is a safe and effective sedative agent that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask that fits over your child’s nose.

It helps reduce anxiety and enhances pain control, allowing your child to relax during treatment.
