Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a nitrogen-oxygen mixture that is inhaled through a nose mask during treatment. As you inhale the gas, you will begin to experience a relaxed or even euphoric sensation that will help you remain calm throughout your treatment. Our team, including a registered nurse, will monitor you throughout your treatment to ensure that you are comfortable and safe. The effects of your sedation treatment will wear off within a few minutes after we remove the nose mask, allowing you to safely and legally drive yourself home.
Nitrous oxide is a great option for anyone who suffers from dental anxiety or a dental phobia. If you feel anxious or nervous when visiting the dentist or even if you simply dislike the sounds of the dental office, please contact our office. We will be happy to make an appointment to discuss your concerns with you so that we can determine if nitrous oxide is a good option for you and take steps to help you feel more comfortable during your time with us.
