Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective sedation option for patients who feel anxious or nervous during dental treatments. Our dentists and team use nitrous oxide to help you remain calm and comfortable while receiving the care you need. Whether you are undergoing a routine procedure or a more extensive treatment, we are committed to ensuring your visit is stress-free and relaxing.

What Is Nitrous Oxide?

Nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation administered through a mask placed over your nose. You breathe in a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, which helps you feel relaxed, calm and at ease within minutes. You can resume your normal activities following your appointment.

This sedation method is ideal for patients who:

  • Experience dental anxiety or fear
  • Have a low pain threshold
  • Struggle with sensitive teeth or gag reflex
  • Need help relaxing during longer procedures

Nitrous oxide is safe for both adults and children, making it a versatile solution for patients of all ages.

The Benefits of Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide offers several benefits for patients who need extra support during their dental visits. It provides a calming effect without putting you to sleep, so you can remain conscious and responsive throughout your treatment. Additionally, the effects of the sedation wear off quickly, which means you can drive yourself home after the procedure.

For patients who feel anxious about dental care, nitrous oxide helps make the experience smoother, more comfortable and less stressful.
