Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a valuable tool in pediatric dental practices, offering a safe and effective way to alleviate anxiety and discomfort in children during dental procedures.

Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a colorless and odorless gas used in dentistry for many years. It is inhaled through a mask that fits over your child's nose to help them relax during dental procedures. The gas is mixed with oxygen and has a calming effect on your body. The child remains conscious and aware during the process, but the gas induces deep relaxation, making them feel calm and comfortable.
