Treatment Adjuncts

Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) – For the anxious patient or a young child needing aid to sit in the dental chair long enough for completions of treatment, nitrous oxide can be safely used. Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas” is an extremely safe, effective and rapid acting gas that is inhaled via a small mask placed over your child’s nose. As the gas enters their lungs, patients feel tingly, “floaty,” and generally more relaxed and tolerant. After treatment is finished, the gas rapidly escapes from the body as oxygen is used to flush the system and your child can resume their normal activity.
