No: Unfortulately, most medications to relieve anxiety such as nitrous oxide or any kind of sedative such as valium or xanax (alprazolam) can harm your developing child.

Not advisable: The ada recommends elective dental treatment only during the second trimester of pregnancy. Nitrous oxide has been linked to a higher risk of miscarriages. Therefore, i feel it is best to be prudent and avoid it if possible. It is always advisable to discuss any treatment with your obstetrician and to weigh the risks with the benefits.
