What is Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation?
Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a blend of two gases, oxygen and nitrogen. The blend is given through a small breathing mask placed over the child’s nose. The gas merely relaxes the child. It does not put the child to sleep. While inhaling nitrous oxide/oxygen, your child remains fully conscious and keeps all their natural reflexes. It offers a way to prevent anxiety and physical discomfort at the same time, allowing a child to feel safe at the dentist.
The gas itself is administered using a small mask placed over the nose, and it remains there throughout the entire appointment. One of the biggest benefits of nitrous oxide is that once the mask is taken off, the effects wear off almost instantly, meaning a child can get back to their regular routine without delay.
