Don’t worry at the dentist
Use of nitrous oxide in children
Some children are very afraid of the dentist. The use of laughing gas has already proven itself very well for these small patients. Since you can control the sedation with nitrous oxide very well, there are almost no side effects. Thanks to this method, the course of treatment is not only very stress-free for the child, but ultimately also for the dentist. So much for theory, but how is it really in practice?
theory and practice
It is often the case that the theory paints everything in beautiful colors and the practice then looks a little different. However, this is not the case. From various dental practices, you can hear again and again how surprisingly positive nitrous oxide can be handled. This is often mentioned not only in adults, but also in children. However, the little ones should only be slightly to moderately afraid of the dentist. The child still has to want to cooperate. This would not be possible and would not make sense in the case of phobia, since the child is made even more insecure. During the sedation, the dentist gains control of the fear, primarily no longer to be reached. Pain can be relieved with a local anesthetic.
