Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is the most frequently used method for easing mild to moderate anxiety in children. Administered through a small mask that fits over your child’s nose, it is an effective way to calm anxiety. Your child will be asked to breathe through his or her nose and not through their mouth. As the gas begins to work, your child will become calm, although he or she will still be awake and able to talk with the dentist.
At the end of your child’s appointment, he or she will resume breathing regular oxygen, and all the effects of nitrous oxide will disappear. As your child gets older and becomes more comfortable during dental visits, nitrous oxide may not be necessary.

Dr Diane and her hygienist are so great with kids!! My son loves going to the dentist now.
This post was actually from six months ago, I just realized it never went through! Today was our daughter's very first dentist appointment!! Dr. Diane, her dental hygienist, and the staff were all so friendly, caring and amazing! From the moment we walked in we were so happy there! We would absolutely recommend them!! Thank you for making Carla's first dentist appointment, a positive one!!Today our daughter had her second dentist visit and it went just as well as the first. The dentist is such a sweetheart and so is the hygienist! Our daughter was happy for her second visit and even more excited to pick another surprise! Thank you for helping Carla's first two experiences at your office feel comfortable! See you next time!
We had a double tooth extraction and everything from start to finish was just amazing. The team was so soothing and everything went so smoothly. Highly recommend!
After a horrible experience at a family dentist my daughter did absolutely amazing at Thrive! And thats all thanks to the lovely staff!! My 8 year wants to go back to the dentist and that means everything to me! Dr.Diane was so gentle and made my daughter feel comfortable from the moment she met her. Highly recommend this office. We will definitely be back!!! P.s the new patient welcome sign was such a great way to feel welcomed!!!
Dr. Lee & her staff are wonderful!! My daughter used to have major anxiety at the dentist, especially regarding the Novocain needle… but Dr. Lee keeps the vibes light, comfortable, casual and discreet. My daughter didn’t even flinch getting her needle/dental work done today! Dr. Lee is also so sweet and patient with my 3 year old at his cleanings. We also appreciate the wonderful orthodontic staff who takes care of my daughter’s braces. I would recommend this place to anyone!
