Nitrous Oxide for Children

About Nitrous Oxide for Children

The use of nitrous oxide can have the same benefit for children as it does for older adults, helping to calm anxiety and allow for their treatment to be less traumatic. The use of nitrous oxide for children is both safe and effective, allowing them to remain calm and confident throughout their treatment without falling asleep. 

Nitrous oxide for children is used in the same manner as for an adult, by placing a mask over the face with a combination of the correct dosage of nitrous oxide and oxygen administered by inhalation. SIde effects are mild grogginess and dizziness that fade quickly, allowing your child to return to regular activities.
