NITROUS OXIDE
Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is a safe and effective option for helping children feel comfortable and relaxed during dental visits. At Favorite Smile Pediatric Dentistry, we use Nitrous Oxide to ease dental anxiety, ensuring a positive experience for our young patients. The gas is administered through a small mask placed over the nose, and it quickly induces a sense of calm while keeping your child awake and responsive. The effects wear off rapidly after the mask is removed, allowing kids to resume their day with ease. Our trained team monitors your child throughout the procedure to provide a safe and stress-free experience.

LOCAL ANESTHESIA
Local anesthesia is a vital tool we use at Favorite Smile Pediatric Dentistry to ensure that your child’s dental visit is as comfortable as possible. It numbs specific areas of the mouth, allowing our team to perform necessary treatments without causing discomfort or pain. Administered with a small injection, the anesthetic works quickly and lasts long enough to complete the procedure while your child remains completely awake and aware. We take every step to make the process quick, gentle, and easy, ensuring a positive experience for your child’s dental care. Our priority is to keep your child’s comfort and safety at the forefront of every visit.
