Nitrous Oxide
Light relaxation, quick on/offs, and your child stays awake—great for mild anxiety.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Deeper relaxation for bigger procedures or strong anxiety; careful dosing and monitoring.
Monitoring & Protocols
Evidence-based guidelines, health history review, and continuous oversight throughout the visit.

FAQs
What parents ask about comfort & sedation
What options are available?
Nitrous oxide and, when appropriate, oral conscious sedation. We’ll recommend the safest match for your child.
Is sedation safe for kids?
Yes—safety is our top priority. We follow evidence-based protocols, review health history, and continuously monitor.
Can we try without sedation first?
Absolutely. Many kids do great with kid-first communication and nitrous alone—or no medication.
How should we prepare?
We’ll provide clear instructions. Bring a comfort item; keep language positive and simple.
Will my child remember the visit?
Nitrous wears off quickly and most kids feel relaxed. Oral sedation often makes the visit feel hazy.
How soon can normal activity resume?
Usually the same day for nitrous and by the next day for oral sedation, unless advised otherwise.
