Nitrous Oxide in Westlake, OH

When inhaled, it is absorbed by the body and has a calming effect. Normal breathing eliminates nitrous oxide from the body. Your child will smell this “flavored air” and experience a sense of well being and relaxation. If the sights, sounds or sensations of dental treatment worry your child, he or she may respond more positively with the use of nitrous oxide/oxygen.

It is Very Safe! Nitrous oxide/oxygen is very gentle and short-lived. It is non-addictive. It is mild, easily taken, then quickly eliminated by the body. Your child remains fully conscious – keeps all natural reflexes – when breathing nitrous oxide/oxygen.

The day of the procedure, give light food about 2 hrs prior (nausea or vomiting can occur when a child has a full stomach). If your child has a respiratory problem (like cold, sinus infection) and is unable to breathe through their nose, they will not be able to inhale N2O effectively, please call and reschedule.
