At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety for many children. That’s why we offer laughing gas, a safe and mild form of sedation, to help make dental procedures easier and more comfortable for our young patients.
Laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide, is ideal for kids who feel nervous or need help staying still during treatment. It's fast-acting, wears off quickly, and helps create a positive, stress-free dental experience.
Laughing gas is a trusted tool in pediatric dentistry that helps reduce fear and discomfort. It keeps children relaxed and cooperative, especially during longer or more involved procedures.
The gas is inhaled through a small mask and begins working within minutes. Children remain awake and aware throughout the procedure but feel calm and carefree. Once the mask is removed, the effects quickly wear off, and your child can resume normal activities.

Laughing gas helps reduce stress and nervousness in young patients. Children often report feeling giggly or dreamy, making their dental appointment feel less intimidating and more manageable.
The sedation takes effect quickly and can be adjusted throughout the procedure based on your child’s needs. It’s a flexible tool that helps keep kids relaxed from start to finish.
Unlike deeper sedation, laughing gas wears off rapidly once the mask is removed. Your child will feel normal within minutes and can typically return to school or play without downtime.
We start by explaining the process to both the parent and child, making sure everyone is informed and at ease.
Your child breathes in the sweet-smelling gas through a soft mask, and relaxation begins within minutes.
Throughout the procedure, we carefully monitor your child’s comfort and adjust the gas as needed. Afterward, the effects wear off quickly, and your child can resume daily activities.
Yes, laughing gas is considered one of the safest sedation options for pediatric patients. It is mild, well-tolerated, and has been used safely for decades in dental offices.
The effects of laughing gas begin within minutes and wear off just as quickly once the mask is removed. Most children feel completely normal right after their visit.
Side effects are rare but may include lightheadedness or mild nausea. These usually fade quickly and can be minimized with proper administration and monitoring.
We typically recommend a light meal or snack before the appointment. Heavy meals should be avoided, as they may increase the risk of nausea during sedation.
