Nitrous Oxide, or laughing gas as it is commonly referred to, is a very safe and effective tool for helping make our patients experience even more comfortable.  Laughing gas is well-tolerated and used for pain and anxiety control. Using laughing gas will help put your child at ease during a treatment but will not put your child to sleep. We recommend that patients NOT have a large meal prior their appointment with laughing gas.

Sometimes children with extensive treatment needs will require work to be done in the hospital. In this case Dr. Heather will have an anesthesiologist and their team take care of your child while Dr. Heather performs all the necessary restorations on your child's teeth.
