Nitrous Oxide Comfort Dentistry in Succasunna, NJ
At Roxbury Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that going to the dentist can cause anxiety—especially for children who are unsure of what to expect. Whether a filling or root canal is needed, nitrous oxide can make their appointments more comfortable.
What Is Nitrous Oxide?
One of the most popular forms of Pediatric Sedation Dentistry is Nitrous Oxide, more commonly known as “laughing gas.” This safe gas is inhaled through a small breathing mask and provides an instant relaxation effect. Your child will be awake but will experience happy feelings while under the effect of the gas. Once the nitrous mask is removed, your child will return to normal within minutes and can continue with their day. Dr. Julia Springfield Polomski recommends that children who undergo oral sedation not eat for at least two hours before their treatment.
