Do you feel nervous about visiting the dentist or worried about an upcoming treatment? If so, nitrous oxide (N2O) sedation at our office may be the perfect solution to help you feel at ease. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective way to relieve dental anxiety. With this sedation method, you will inhale a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen through a small mask placed over your nose. As you breathe in the gas, you will quickly feel relaxed, calm and perhaps even slightly euphoric, making your visit far more comfortable.
Nitrous oxide is widely used because it is both gentle and convenient. One of its key benefits is that the effects wear off almost immediately after the gas supply is stopped. This means you can safely drive yourself home after your appointment without the need for someone to accompany you. Whether you need a routine cleaning, fillings or a more involved procedure, nitrous oxide can help make your experience stress-free.
This type of sedation is especially helpful for patients who have dental anxiety, phobias or concerns about specific treatments. Even if it is the sounds, smells or sensations of the dental office that cause discomfort, nitrous oxide can significantly ease those feelings. The goal is to ensure you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible from start to finish.
Our experienced dentists will discuss your needs and concerns with you before your appointment to determine if nitrous oxide is the right choice. We are committed to making your experience positive and enjoyable, no matter what procedure you are receiving. Nitrous oxide sedation is an excellent option for adults and children alike, and it can be adjusted throughout the treatment to maintain your comfort.
