Some children are given nitrous oxide/oxygen, or what you may know as laughing gas, to relax them for their dental treatment.
Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a blend of two gases, oxygen and nitrous oxide.
Nitrous oxide/oxygen is given through a small breathing mask which is placed over the child's nose, allowing them to relax, but without putting them to sleep.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recognizes this technique as a very safe, effective technique to use for treating children's dental needs.

Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age.
Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive.
If old enough, your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions.

Our practice will accept most major insurance plans.
As a courtesy, our office will file your child's claim and all necessary documentation to your insurance carrier.
Prior to your child's first appointment, our office will obtain a breakdown of benefits to better inform us of your policy and your expected copayments.
We will make every effort to give you an estimated copayment based on the breakdown of benefits obtained, however there are times that our office is unaware of an exclusion which may result in a slightly higher copayment.
