Laughing Gas / Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide, commonly called "Laughing Gas" is one of the safest forms of sedation available to alleviate anxiety during dental procedures. It is simply a gas, which you breathe in through a small personal mask. Nitrous Oxide is colorless, sweet-smelling, and nonirritating. The onset of the effects of nitrous oxide is felt within minutes, and these effects wear off soon after the mask is removed. This means you are 100% ready to independently carry on your life after the use of nitrous oxide.
Almost anyone can have nitrous oxide treatment. We can vary the depth of sedation depending on your level of anxiety. Nitrous oxide gas also tends to reduce gag reflexes and saliva flow. Most importantly, you will bask in a feeling of relaxation while breathing nitrous oxide gas as we care for you.
