Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Gentle laughing-gas sedation for anxious patients.
Nitrous oxide, "laughing gas", is the gentlest form of dental sedation. You breathe a mix of nitrous and oxygen through a small nosepiece. You stay awake, relaxed, and aware, but the anxiety melts away.
Who benefits
Patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety. Patients with a strong gag reflex. Kids who need extra help to relax. Anyone who’s ever said "I just don’t do well at the dentist."
What to expect
You feel a soft, calm tingle within a couple of minutes. You stay in full control of yourself and can talk normally. When we’re done, we switch to pure oxygen and the effects clear in 5 minutes, you can drive yourself home.
