Nitrous oxide is one of our most tried and true sedation dentistry methods. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, has been used to reduce sensitivity and make dental visits more comfortable for decades. Despite being called laughing gas, nitrous oxide just helps patients to relax and feel at ease. With nitrous oxide sedation, patients can have a positive experience at our office and get the treatment that they need without worry or anxiety. Nitrous oxide is completely safe and effective.
Patients love nitrous oxide sedation because it is convenient, easy to administer, and wears off quickly after the procedure is complete. Nitrous oxide is the only sedation method that wears off quickly enough that patients can drive themselves to and from the office. Our other sedation methods result in a deeper sedation, but patients who take oral conscious sedation or IV sedation need to find a friend or loved one to drive them to and from the office.
