Do you feel anxious about dental visits? If so, nitrous oxide sedation may help you feel more at ease during your appointment. Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedation option that allows you to relax while remaining fully awake and responsive throughout your treatment.
How Nitrous Oxide Sedation Works
Nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. Within minutes, you will begin to feel a calming sensation that can help ease dental anxiety and discomfort. Many patients describe the feeling as light, euphoric or pleasantly detached from their surroundings. Throughout your procedure, you will remain conscious and able to communicate with our dentists and team while experiencing little to no stress.
Once your treatment is complete, the mask is removed and the effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly. Unlike other forms of sedation, nitrous oxide does not require a recovery period, allowing you to resume your normal activities, including driving yourself home.
Who Can Benefit from Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide sedation is ideal for patients of all ages who experience dental anxiety or have difficulty sitting comfortably through a procedure. It may be particularly helpful if you:
- Feel nervous about dental treatments
- Have a sensitive gag reflex
- Struggle with dental phobia or past negative experiences
- Require a longer or more involved procedure
- Feel uneasy about the sights, sounds or sensations of dental care
Before your appointment, our dentists will discuss your medical history and determine if nitrous oxide is the right sedation option for you.
Safe & Effective Sedation
Nitrous oxide has been used in dentistry for decades and is considered one of the safest sedation methods available. The effects are easily controlled, allowing our team to adjust the level of sedation to your comfort. Additionally, because it is quickly eliminated from the body after treatment, there are no lingering effects, making it a convenient choice for many patients.
