Do you ever feel uneasy about going to the dentist? Are you feeling nervous about an upcoming procedure? If so, nitrous oxide sedation may be the right solution for you. Commonly referred to as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a blend of nitrogen and oxygen that you inhale through a small mask placed over your nose during treatment. As you breathe it in, you’ll begin to feel calm, relaxed, and possibly even euphoric, making your visit far more pleasant.
Nitrous oxide is one of the safest and most widely used forms of sedation in dentistry. Its effects wear off just minutes after removing the mask, allowing you to drive safely home after your appointment without needing an escort or extended downtime.
This sedation method is ideal for patients who experience dental anxiety or phobia, whether it’s due to unfamiliar procedures, previous negative experiences, or simply discomfort with the clinical setting. If the sounds, smells, or sights of dental treatment put you on edge, nitrous oxide can help you feel more at ease throughout your visit.
Before your appointment, we encourage you to discuss any concerns with our team. We’ll ensure your experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
