The Consultation Process
At Avenue Dental, we believe in taking the time to understand your child’s unique needs. Before administering Happy Gas, we always schedule a consultation with the child and their parent(s). During this appointment, our experienced team will:
- Explain how Happy Gas works in simple, child-friendly terms.
- Discuss the procedure in detail, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.
- Assess your child’s medical history to ensure that Happy Gas is a safe and suitable option.
This consultation helps parents and children feel prepared and reassured before treatment begins.
How Does Happy Gas Work?
Happy Gas is delivered through a small nasal mask, which your child wears during the procedure. As they breathe in the gas, they will begin to feel calm and relaxed. Some children may experience a light, floaty sensation, warmth, or a tingling feeling in their hands and feet. The effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, and your child can resume normal activities shortly after their appointment.
