Nitrous Oxide Sedation
When children are highly anxious and fearful of dental treatment and refuse to sit for a long dental treatment, Nitrous Oxide Sedation may be administered.
What is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
Commonly known as laughing gas, Nitrous Oxide is a mild sedative agent that effectively manages pain and anxiety during dental treatment. In the sedation process, Nitrous Oxide is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask. Your child will then be asked to breathe normally and the effects will be felt within minutes.
What is the purpose of Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
- Reduces fear, anxiety or apprehension
- Helps reduce pain
- Reduces fatigue
Children with special needs may have behavioural issues or intellectual disabilities which influence their ability to cooperate for dental treatment and can be challenging for your pediatric dentist. In such cases, nitrous oxide sedation may be highly important and help avoid any associated risks.
