We’re committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. For patients who feel anxious about their dental visit or prefer a little extra relaxation, nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas,” is a safe and effective way to help you feel at ease during treatment. It’s a gentle sedation option that works quickly and wears off just as fast, allowing you to return to your day without the lingering effects of stronger sedatives.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless gas that you inhale through a small mask placed over your nose. As you breathe it in, you’ll begin to feel calm and relaxed, helping you stay comfortable throughout your treatment. Unlike other forms of sedation, nitrous oxide leaves you fully conscious and able to respond to questions or directions but in a state of calmness.
Who Can Receive Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
Nitrous oxide is ideal for patients of all ages who experience mild to moderate dental anxiety. It’s also a great option for children or adults who want a more relaxed dental visit without feeling groggy afterward.
What Are the Benefits of Nitrous Oxide?
- Fast-Acting and Safe: Nitrous oxide begins working almost immediately, helping you feel relaxed right away.
- Quick Recovery: Once the gas is turned off, the effects wear off in just a few minutes, so you can drive yourself home and resume your normal activities after your appointment.
- Control Anxiety: Whether you feel nervous about your treatment or have mild dental anxiety, nitrous oxide can help make the experience more pleasant.
- No Needles: Nitrous oxide is administered through a mask, making it an excellent option for patients who prefer to avoid needles or oral sedatives.
