Ensuring Comfort for Every Patient

Pediatric Sedation Dentistry & Nitrous Oxide in East Dallas, TX

Your Child's Comfort and Safety Are Our Top Priorities

At Lakewood Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics in East Dallas, TX, we understand that dental visits can be challenging for some children, especially those who experience anxiety or have special healthcare needs. To ensure that all our young patients receive the dental care they need in the most comfortable and stress-free manner possible, we offer nitrous oxide and other sedation dentistry options.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry for Children

Often referred to as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent that is inhaled through a small mask that fits over your child’s nose. It is used to calm and relax patients who may feel anxious before or during their dental procedure. Nitrous oxide is mild, non-addictive, and its effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing children to return to their normal activities immediately after the appointment. 

Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation

  • Reduces anxiety and increases cooperation during dental procedures.
  • Takes effect quickly and recovery is rapid.
  • The depth of sedation can be adjusted at any time to ensure the child’s comfort.
  • Safe for virtually all children, including those with special needs. 

Our Commitment to Safe Sedation

Safety is our top priority when using any type of sedation. Before administering any sedative, our trained professionals will review your child’s medical history and explain how the sedation will be used. During the procedure, your child’s vitals are continuously monitored to ensure their safety. Our team is extensively trained in sedation techniques and emergency preparedness to address any situation that may arise.

 

We believe in keeping parents fully informed and involved in their child’s dental care decisions. Before deciding on sedation, we discuss all available options with you, taking into account your child’s health, the nature of the procedure, and your child’s comfort level.
