Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): This is a mild form of sedation administered through a mask over the nose. It helps children relax and reduces anxiety during dental procedures. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, allowing the child to resume their normal activities after the procedure. Oral Sedation: This involves giving the child a prescribed medication (in liquid form) to be taken before the procedure. Oral sedation induces relaxation and drowsiness, but the child remains awake and responsive. The child may remember little to nothing about the procedure. Before sedation, a thorough medical history is obtained to ensure the child is a suitable candidate. The child is monitored visually and using a pulse oximeter. Monitoring continues during and after the procedure until the child is alert and stable.
