Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is one of the most widely used forms of sedation in dentistry. It is administered through inhalation, with the gas carefully controlled by your dentist. This creates a state of euphoria and deep relaxation, allowing you to feel at ease and letting go of any fear or anxiety. During the procedure, you remain comfortable and calm, and most dental treatments can be completed in a single visit under sedation.
Nitrous oxide sedation is both safe and effective. Once the procedure is finished, the effects of the gas wear off quickly, often allowing you to drive yourself home and resume your normal activities without delay.
Before proceeding with nitrous oxide sedation, you’ll need to have a preliminary consultation with your dentist to ensure you are a suitable candidate. If dental visits have been a source of stress, don’t worry any longer—ask us about sedation dentistry and book your appointment today.
