Nitrous oxide has been used safely in dentistry since the 1800s, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recognizes it as a safe, effective method to reduce anxiety during dental procedures.
Safe and Effective Nitrous Oxide
The effects of nitrous oxide are gentle and won’t put your child to sleep. It will help them feel very calm and dreamy, and they might not remember much of the procedure afterward.
Rest assured, our dental team is trained to monitor your child carefully. The effects wear off quickly after we stop administering it, so your child can go back to their usual activities after their appointment.
We Ensure Your Child’s Safety
Dr. Paula Egharevba is an experienced dentist in Miami who cares deeply about your child’s safety and comfort. She carefully reviews their medical history for allergies and drug reactions to ensure nitrous oxide is the best choice for them.
Dr. Paula will also consider any respiratory issues, such as asthma or severe congestion. While it is generally safe, we also watch carefully for potential side effects like mild nausea or dizziness. Our dental team works together to ensure your child’s experience is safe and comfortable.
