What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas to some people, is a great way to make a patient feel safe and well relaxed during any sort of dental procedure. The gas is delivered through a small mask that completely covers the nose and allows the patient to relax and, in some instances, calm itself before the procedure while still being fully awake and capable of interacting during the procedure.

Who will benefit from nitrous oxide?
Nitrous oxide is best used for patients who:
Those who are very anxious or fearful of getting their treatments
Have teeth that are hypersensitive or a really strong gag reflex
Anything patients usually find: Can’t sit still for that long in the chair.

Worry about discomfort from dental work
It is safe to administer to adults and children alike, making it an excellent choice for families looking for stress-free dental health assistance.

How It Works
During Your Appointment:
A soft mask goes over your nose
You will breathe an exact mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen.
You will begin to feel relaxed, calm, and comfortable within a few minutes.
Once the treatment is done, the effects wear off with removing the mask; hence, normal activities can resume within the same day.
