Laughing gas sedation - the "magic air" for children

Lachgassedierung für Kinder

Laughing gas – the magic air for children – also enables dental treatment of young patients. With the help of nitrous oxide sedation, anxiety and stress can be minimized and deep relaxation can be created.

Nitrous oxide, or N20 for short, is a non-allergenic, non-irritating gas that affects the central nervous system. It has been used successfully in medicine for more than 150 years, especially to treat anxious patients.

A mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide is administered through a small nasal mask. During this process, your child can choose between different “magic air scents” such as Bubblegum, orange, strawberry or grape select. The concentration of nitrous oxide is individually adapted to your child and gradually increased until a pleasant and relaxed feeling is achieved. This is achieved after just 2 to 3 minutes. After completion of the dental treatment, your child will breathe oxygen for a few more minutes until the effect of the laughing gas has completely disappeared and can then leave the practice without being affected.

The nitrous oxide helps the child to relax during dental treatment and reduce feelings of anxiety. As well as the fear, the sensation of pain also decreases. However, your child is conscious and responsive at all times during the treatment.
There is no defined age requirement. Your child must be cooperative and able to breathe through the nasal mask. This is not possible in case of restricted nasal breathing (e.g. severe cold, flu, mouth breather).
Nitrous oxide sedation is a very safe procedure with few complications, used millions of times worldwide. Since nitrous oxide is not metabolized by the body but is completely exhaled again, no complications occur. Very rarely, nausea or mild dizziness may occur, but these can be reversed after the nitrous oxide supply is turned off and oxygen is inhaled. There are only a few contraindications that rule out nitrous oxide sedation. Your dentist can clarify these in advance in a preliminary consultation so that patient selection is very safe and risks can be excluded. Important is, That we know the state of health of your child before treatment. Therefore, please inform us about all medications and existing diseases and surgeries of the child. Recommended, to have a light meal before the treatment and not to eat or drink anything for about 2 hours before the appointment. Pregnant women should not be in the treatment room during laughing gas sedation. The dentist will decide whether your child is suitable for laughing gas sedation in a detailed preliminary consultation.
The cost of laughing gas sedation depends on the duration of the dental treatment. In addition, your child will receive their own nasal mask, the scent of which they can choose as they wish.
