What is Sedation Dentistry?
How Does Nitrous Oxide Sedation Work?
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation for Children
Reduced Anxiety: Nitrous oxide sedation helps children feel more relaxed and comfortable, making it easier to undergo dental treatments without fear or apprehension.
1
Pain Relief: Nitrous oxide has mild analgesic properties, which can help alleviate discomfort during dental procedures, such as fillings or extractions.
2
Quick Onset and Recovery: Nitrous oxide takes effect rapidly, usually within minutes of administration, and its effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed. This allows children to return to normal activities shortly after their dental appointment.
3
Safe and Effective: When administered by trained dental professionals, nitrous oxide is considered a safe sedation option for children. It has been used in dentistry for decades and has a proven safety and efficacy track record.
4
Controlled Sedation Levels: One advantage of nitrous oxide is that its sedative effects can be easily adjusted during the dental procedure to ensure the child remains comfortable and relaxed without being overly sedated.

Is Nitrous Oxide Sedation Right for Your Child?
Oral Conscious Sedation
Dr. Chandak at Preston Corners Pediatric Dentistry specializes in oral conscious sedation, a safe and effective method for managing anxiety in children during dental procedures. With extensive training and expertise in pediatric sedation dentistry, Dr. Chandak ensures that children remain relaxed and comfortable throughout their treatment.
Oral conscious sedation is a type of sedation dentistry that involves administering medication orally to help patients relax and feel comfortable during dental procedures. The medication induces a state of moderate relaxation while allowing the patient to remain conscious and responsive throughout the treatment.
To maintain the highest standards in sedation dentistry, Dr. Chandak diligently keeps up with the latest advancements by attending continuing education courses and staying current with her Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification. Parents can trust Dr. Chandak’s expertise and commitment to providing exceptional dental care in a safe and supportive environment for their children.
