Feeling anxious about a dental visit is very common. Whether you have mild nerves or more intense dental fear, nitrous oxide can help create a more comfortable and relaxed experience. We offer nitrous oxide sedation to help patients feel calm and confident while receiving the care they need.
What Is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, often called “laughing gas,” is a safe and effective sedative used during dental treatments. It is inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose and begins working within minutes. Patients remain awake and responsive but feel a sense of calm and reduced sensitivity to discomfort.
Nitrous oxide is commonly used for patients who:
- Feel nervous or anxious about dental treatment
- Have a sensitive gag reflex
- Need help sitting still during longer procedures
- Are receiving multiple treatments at one visit
- Want a quick recovery and return to normal activities
One of the most valued benefits of nitrous oxide is that its effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed, allowing most patients to resume daily activities immediately.
