What is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
Nitrous oxide sedation, commonly known as "laughing gas," is a safe and effective method of easing dental anxiety during procedures. The gas is administered through a comfortable mask placed over your nose, allowing you to breathe in the mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Within minutes, you'll begin to feel relaxed and at ease, while remaining conscious and able to communicate with your dental team throughout your treatment.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide sedation offers numerous advantages for patients who experience dental anxiety or require more complex procedures. The benefits include:
- Rapid onset of relaxation and anxiety relief
- The ability to adjust the level of sedation during treatment
- Minimal side effects and quick recovery time
- Suitable for patients of all ages
Is Nitrous Oxide Sedation Right for You?
Nitrous oxide sedation can be an excellent option for patients who experience dental anxiety or have a low pain threshold. It is also helpful for those who have a strong gag reflex or need to undergo multiple procedures in one visit. During your consultation, Dr. Wilson and our team will assess your medical history and discuss your concerns to determine if nitrous oxide sedation is the best choice for your needs.
