Distract them: Just prepare them for the mask and that they may feel like they are floating or flying. Stories, songs sharing a fun memory are all effective means to distract your child.

It'll Be Fun!: N2o, in the concentrations used for dental procedures, usually produces feelings of "flying, " or floating, often with accompanying laughter and overall relaxation. Enjoy the flight!
