The availability of nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia/anxiolysis to the pediatric patient results in a win/win situation for the patient and dentist. The patient has the opportunity to experience dental treatment in a non-threatening comfortable environment, which will encourage returning for a lifetime of dental treatment without the anxiety and anticipation of discomfort.

When used according to recommended guidelines, it is a safe method for managing patient anxiety associated with dental treatment.
