Preparing a child for nitrous oxide means they know what to expect on the day, which can ease any worries they may have.
Your dentist places a mask over your child's nose and encourages them to take deep breaths. As your child breathes in the nitrous oxide, they'll smell a pleasant, sweet aroma and gradually feel sleepy and dreamy.
Although still aware of everything going on around them, they'll be in a state of warm relaxation and may feel a tingling in their arms and legs. Many children become forgetful and don't even remember the procedure afterward.
It's common for parents or guardians to feel anxious or uncomfortable about the thought of their child having sedation. Nitrous oxide is a safe way for a child to have a great experience when having dental treatment. Call Dental Kidz Club today to find out more and request an appointment.
