Nitrous Oxide Sedation

A Relaxing Dental Visit

Dental sedation can help patients feel more comfortable during dental procedures. If you often experience anxiety before coming to the dentist, we may recommend nitrous oxide.

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is inhaled through the nose. The medication can calm you during your dental procedure, even though you remain awake and able to communicate.

It also tends to lessen anxiety, increase the pain threshold, reduce the gag reflex and make time seem to pass more quickly.

In addition to providing nitrous oxide as a sedation option, we will work at your pace, take breaks when you need them, and provide calm reassurance as needed.
