Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a safe and mild sedative used in pediatric dentistry to help children feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. Administered through a mask placed over the nose, nitrous oxide induces a calm and euphoric sensation, allowing children to remain conscious and cooperative while receiving treatment.

PLEASE NOTE: Pregnant women must remain in the waiting room if nitrous is being used in the operatory with the child.

Please do not give your child anything to eat or drink 2 hours before the procedure. This will cause a rescheduled appointment.
