Nitrous Oxide
It’s common for kids to feel nervous about going to the dentist. That’s why some parents choose to skip dental visits altogether. At South Gaston Pediatric Dentistry, we aim to ease those worries and create a comfortable environment for every child during their appointments.
Sedation dentistry provides safe and effective medications to help your children relax and conquer any anxiety. Our team has the expertise to assist you in selecting the most suitable sedation for your child and ensuring its proper administration. We will carefully review your child’s medical history and any current medications to determine if sedation dentistry is the right choice for your child.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a safe and effective way to help ease your child’s nervous when receiving dental treatment. This gas is inhaled and allows your child to remain conscious during their procedure, but fully relaxed. Nitrous oxide is not addictive and easy on the system. When the treatment is over, we flush it out of the system using oxygen, allowing your child to leave while feeling 100% normal.
We strive to eliminate any nervousness or fear your child may have about going to the dentist, so they can receive the essential dental care they need. If you’re in the South Gastonia, NC area and would like more information about the benefits of nitrous oxide, please don’t hesitate to contact our office today!
