Nitrous Oxide is a colorless, sweet-smelling gas that has been used in dentistry since the 19th century to manage pain and anxiety.
Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, provides numerous benefits for dental patients, including immediate relaxation and pain control, which enhances the overall dental care experience.
When inhaled, Nitrous Oxide produces feelings of euphoria and relaxation, which helps patients remain calm and comfortable during dental procedures.
Administering Nitrous Oxide involves placing a small mask over the patient’s nose and instructing them to breathe normally. It takes effect within minutes, providing a quick onset of relaxation.
Our trained professionals closely monitor the patient’s response to ensure optimal safety and adjust the sedation level as needed.
Nitrous Oxide is particularly beneficial for patients who experience anxiety or have a low pain threshold. It is also helpful for children and those with special needs.
From routine cleanings to more invasive procedures, Nitrous Oxide is versatile and can be used for nearly any dental treatment to improve patient comfort.
