Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective sedation method used during dental treatments. It is particularly helpful for patients who experience anxiety about dental procedures and those who are needle-phobic. Nitrous oxide sedation is also beneficial for children, making their dental visits more comfortable and stress-free. By inhaling a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a small mask placed over the nose, patients can relax while remaining fully conscious and able to communicate with our dental team. The effects wear off quickly, allowing for a smooth and swift recovery.
