Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous Oxide / Laughing Gas Sedation
How It Works
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is one of several Sedation Dentistry options available to significantly reduce your fears and discomfort.
Benefits of nitrous oxide:
- It's effective for mild to moderate anxiety
- Proven safety record
- Offers an analgesic (pain relieving) effect
- It's quick-acting, with few side effects
- You don’t need someone to escort you to and from the office
- You can return to normal activities immediately
- In many cases, you can get ALL of your dental work done in one visit
Nitrous oxide is best suited for cases of mild to moderate anxiety and is the most frequently used sedation method. Under nitrous oxide you remain conscious and able to breathe on your own, with a sense of total well-being (euphoria). Patients generally recover quickly, often with little memory of the procedure.
