Does Tooth Filling Using Nitrous Oxide Cause Any Allergy To A 7 Year Old?
My granddaughter, who is 7, is having teeth filled tomorrow. They plan to use nitrous oxide. She is allegic to nuts and melons and is taking numerous medications for her allegies; advair, citrizine, singular. She also has an Epi-Pen if needed. Are there risks if she is given nitrous oxide?

Hi...usually allergies are not a contraindication for nitrous oxide administration.
It is even safe to use if somebody has epilepsy, liver disease, heart disease, diabetes, or cerebrovascular disease.
So do not worry about it. But please do remember to mention about the allergies to your dentist and keep epipen in hand.
