Abstract

Dental anxiety remains a significant barrier to oral health in pediatric patients, often resulting in uncooperative behavior or the avoidance of necessary treatment. To address these challenges, procedural sedation has become a cornerstone of modern pediatric dentistry. Among available techniques, inhalation sedation using a nitrous oxide–oxygen ($N_2O/O_2$) mixture is distinguished by its safety profile and efficacy in achieving anxiolysis and patient cooperation while maintaining consciousness. This article evaluates the clinical significance of $N_2O/O_2$ sedation and outlines the essential technical, clinical, and organizational standards required for its safe administration in pediatric dental practice.
