NITROUS OXIDE SEDATION
Nitrous Oxide Sedation in West Lawn, Chicago, IL
Many children have a fear or phobia of the dentist, while others may not sit still long enough for a procedure to be completed. To help overcome these common problems, there are many safe sedation techniques that will allow your child to have a painless, comfortable, and stress-free experience next time they come to the pediatric dentist.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation for children is a highly effective and highly safe method to use for children who are undergoing a dental procedure or who suffer from a fear/phobia of the dentist. You’ll be able to be present in the room throughout the entire procedure, and the sedation process is quick and easy. Your child will be sedated for the length of the procedure. Following sedation, they may be a bit groggy for the next 24 hours or so, and then they’ll be back to normal with a healthier smile.
This sedation method is used for dental surgery and even more common procedures, like dental fillings, as needed. Our professional staff will be there to answer any questions you, or your child may have about the process. Our biggest goal is always the safety and comfort of every patient, no matter how young or old.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation has minimal side effects, with the most common being grogginess or sleepiness. Nausea can also result from the sedation procedure while your child is recovering, but all side effects should go away in around 24 hours. Your children’s dentist will be able to advise you on any follow-up care that may be necessary for your child, what to expect, and what to watch out for.
