Can laughing gas be administered to children?
Treating children is problematic. Children are afraid of the dentist, pain, dental devices and tools. Many of them do not allow for performance of effective treatment. The laughing gas is harmless, so it can be used during treatment of children very successfully. Children constitute 80% of patients who are treated with laughing gas. 99% of children who undergo treatment with laughing gas are cured. A child feels well and safe, so is able to cooperate with the doctor during the dental procedure effectively.After the procedure, children are satisfied and they stop feeling fear of the dentist.
