Abstract

The introduction of the technique of using nitrous oxide in children for anxiolysis is very different from that in adults where in it is extremely simple and straightforward. In children, anxiety, temperament, cognitive development, and behavior influence the acceptance of this technique. Therefore, the first nitrous oxide visit plays a decisive role in the success of nitrous oxide–oxygen anxiolysis in a pediatric dental patient. A parallel can be drawn between the role of the first nitrous oxide visit and the first dental visit.
