At Canoe Brook Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that dental visits can be intimidating for children. To help alleviate their anxiety and ensure a comfortable experience, we offer nitrous oxide sedation in Livingston, New Jersey, a safe and gentle solution for a more relaxed dental visit.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, often referred to as “laughing gas,” is a mild and safe sedative commonly used in pediatric dentistry. It is administered through a mask over the nose and mixed with oxygen, helping to calm a child’s nerves and make dental procedures more comfortable. While under nitrous oxide, children remain awake and can communicate, but feel more relaxed and less aware of the procedure.
The Nitrous Oxide Experience
Your child will breathe in nitrous oxide through a comfortably fitting mask placed over their nose. They will quickly begin to feel a sense of relaxation and ease. Our skilled pediatric dentist and team closely monitors the sedation throughout the procedure to ensure your child’s safety and comfort.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation
- Anxiety Reduction: Significantly eases dental fears and anxieties.
- Comfort Enhancement: Makes the dental experience more pleasant for your child.
- Fast Recovery: The effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly after treatment.
- Safe and Effective: Continuously monitored for a safe and controlled experience.
