What is nitrous oxide?
Nitrous oxide is a light, safe and effective type of sedative that allows the patient to remain alert during dental procedures without feeling worry or discomfort. It is sometimes referred to as laughing gas and most often used on patients during more serious treatments such as extractions or root canals.

How will I be sedated?
When you come into our office, we will make you comfortable in one of our dental chairs. You will be given a small gas mask to wear over your face to breathe in the sedative. After inhaling deeply for several minutes, the gas will begin to take effect, enabling you to feel relaxed during your treatment.

How will it make me feel?
The feelings from nitrous oxide is a light-headed and tingly sensation through the body. There are some who have experienced a feeling of heaviness throughout the body.
