Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is a sweet-smelling, colorless blend of gases. The amount of oxygen present in the blend of gases is actually more than what is in the normal air we breathe in the atmosphere. When nitrous oxide is inhaled, it makes most people feel happy, relaxed, and sometimes, giggly—that’s why it is often called “laughing gas.” Nitrous oxide is a very safe and comfortable way to help many children receive the dental treatment they need.
General Anesthesia
Little Tooth Co. also have the services of Dr. Dillon Atwood, a Board Certified Dental Anesthesiologist, who will provide general anesthesia for our younger pediatric patients, patients with special needs, and teenage patients requiring procedures that warrant deeper levels of sedation.
SOBA Anesthesia
Our dental office is happy to have Dr. Braxton Henderson's services from SOBA Anesthesia for our younger pediatric patients who need specialized treatments that require heavier levels of sedation.
Hospital Dentistry
Dr. Jean is also on staff at the Surgical Center for Dental Professionals, at 2620 New Bern Avenue in Raleigh, and is able to treat children with severe medical and dental needs under general anesthesia in the surgical out-patient setting.
