Nitrous Oxide

The average child is understandably intimidated by dental procedures. However, when provided with dental care from proven professionals in a stressless and welcoming environment, the experience doesn’t prove nearly as mentally or emotionally impactful. Just 4 Me Pediatric Dentistry in Buffalo and Getzville, NY creates such an atmosphere with the use of nitrous oxide. This odorless and colorless gas is proven to be safe for child patients. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the use of nitrous oxide for kids who are fearful or anxious about dental procedures, those with special care needs, those enduring a lengthy dental procedure and those who struggle to remain still. Kids who have an especially strong gag reflex might also find nitrous oxide is helpful as it sets the stage for our dentist to perform the dental procedure without interference.

A small dose of this gas will not harm your child in the slightest. Once your child is provided with this soothing gas, he or she will feel relaxed and perfectly calm during dental restoration procedures, cleanings and more. Whether your child needs a dental filling, a teeth-cleaning or another procedure for dental restoration, our dentist will discuss the merits of nitrous oxide with you and your child. Nitrous oxide promotes quick relaxation, wears off without a lengthy wait and doesn’t lead to any negative side effects. The gas is transmitted through a fitted mask placed over your child’s nose. Sedation occurs in the ensuing minutes, empowering our dentist to get to work without causing pain.
