Our office combines the use of local anesthesia and nitrous oxide sedation to provide a comfortable experience for your child during their dental procedure. Nitrous Oxide “Laughing Gas” is a safe and effective sedative agent that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask. The effects of nitrous oxide are mild, and you can typically observe your child feeling more calm and relaxed. These effects are quickly reversible and your child can resume normal activity shortly thereafter.
