Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
At Fairview Dental, we prioritize your child’s comfort during every dental appointment. One of the sedative options we offer is laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
- Administration: Delivered through a small mask that covers your child’s nose.
- Effectiveness: Takes effect instantly and wears off quickly, allowing for a seamless experience.
- Experience: Induces a calming and mildly euphoric sensation, easing anxiety while keeping your child alert and aware.
- Best For: Ideal for individuals with minor anxiety or for those undergoing shorter procedures. After treatment, the side effects subside in just a few minutes, enabling your child to drive themselves home if needed.
Dr. Thuc Luu and our skilled team customize sedation options to meet your child’s individual needs, ensuring a positive and stress-free dental experience.
Oral Sedation
At Fairview Dental, we offer oral sedation for patients who experience moderate anxiety or require treatment for longer procedures. This sedation method creates a relaxed and comfortable experience for you during your dental visit.
- Administration: Oral sedation involves taking a prescription medication prior to your scheduled consultation.
- Level of Sedation: This sedation offers deeper relaxation than nitrous oxide, helping to reduce anxiety and stress.
- Experience: Patients may experience drowsiness and could have limited recollection of the procedure, contributing to a more comfortable overall experience.
- Transportation: It’s important to have a responsible adult drive you home after your appointment, as the sedative can affect your ability to drive safely.
Oral sedation is a popular choice for many patients because it’s effective and easy to use, helping to create a smooth dental experience at Fairview Dental. Dr. Thuc Luu and our caring team are dedicated to making sure you feel comfortable and well taken care of during your dental visits.
