Nitrous Sedation


If you feel anxious about dental visits, we offer a solution called nitrous oxide sedation, commonly known as "laughing gas." This safe and effective method helps you relax during your treatment.

How It Works

You'll breathe a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a comfortable tube placed over your nose. Within minutes, you'll experience a sense of calm and well-being. You'll remain awake and able to communicate with our team throughout the procedure.

What to Expect

During sedation, you might feel:

  • A light tingling in your hands and feet

  • A warm, pleasant sensation

  • A feeling of detachment from your surroundings

These effects help reduce anxiety and make your dental experience more comfortable.

Benefits

  • Quick Recovery: The effects wear off almost immediately after the mask is removed, allowing you to continue your day without lasting drowsiness.

  • Enhanced Comfort: Procedures that might seem daunting become more manageable, helping you maintain your oral health without stress.

Is It Right for You?

Before your treatment, we'll discuss your medical history and any concerns to ensure nitrous oxide sedation is suitable for you. This method is generally safe for most patients, but we'll take the time to confirm it's the best option for your needs.

If dental anxiety has been keeping you from seeking care, nitrous oxide sedation might be the solution you've been looking for. Feel free to contact us with any questions or to schedule a consultation.
