Laughing gas sedation - the "magic air" for children

There is no defined age requirement. Your child must be cooperative and able to breathe through the nasal mask. This is not possible in case of restricted nasal breathing (e.g. severe cold, flu, mouth breather).

Nitrous oxide sedation is a very safe procedure with few complications, used millions of times worldwide. Since nitrous oxide is not metabolized by the body but is completely exhaled again, no complications occur. Very rarely, nausea or mild dizziness may occur, but these can be reversed after the nitrous oxide supply is turned off and oxygen is inhaled. There are only a few contraindications that rule out nitrous oxide sedation. Your dentist can clarify these in advance in a preliminary consultation so that patient selection is very safe and risks can be excluded. Important is, That we know the state of health of your child before treatment. Therefore, please inform us about all medications and existing diseases and surgeries of the child. Recommended, to have a light meal before the treatment and not to eat or drink anything for about 2 hours before the appointment. Pregnant women should not be in the treatment room during laughing gas sedation. The dentist will decide whether your child is suitable for laughing gas sedation in a detailed preliminary consultation.

The cost of laughing gas sedation depends on the duration of the dental treatment. In addition, your child will receive their own nasal mask, the scent of which they can choose as they wish.
