I am a strong believer in the use of nitrous oxide in all my special needs patients. This is probably because i am almost always referred patients whom other dentists cannot manage. Conscious sedation does not work because if you give him oral medicine wothout nitrous oxide you will probably only agitate him further. The purpose of oral sedation is to get the kid to put the mask on, the actual sedation requires nitrous oxide.Just medicine brings about a paradoxical reaction, they tend to fight it and because of suppression of the limbic system it makes the person more agitated. I really hope the Indian Dental council and Medical council will take steps to make it possible for dentists to monitor Nitorus Oxide sedation without the presence of the anesthesiologist
