Dental Kidz Club offers nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, to help ease dental anxiety in children during their visit.
Nitrous oxide is a conscious sedative that’s been safely used in dentistry for over a century. It makes your child relaxed without putting them to sleep and is administered through a mask worn over the nose throughout the entire procedure.
Nitrous oxide takes only a few minutes to start working, at which point your child will feel calmer and happy. It wears off almost immediately, so there’s no downtime after the procedure.
It's natural for a child to feel nervous about sedation, but you can help make the experience easier for them by explaining what they can expect on the day of the procedure and making sure that their airways are clear. If your child has allergies or a blocked nose, decongestants and allergy medicine can help them breathe more easily.
The team at Dental Kidz Club will work with you and your child to help them feel comfortable and address their individual psychological, emotional, and dental needs. If you’d like to learn more or schedule an appointment, call today.
