Nitrous oxide is a safe sedation method, quickly adjustable for depth. Its effects start within seconds and dissipate after a few minutes, allowing for safe driving afterward. It has minimal side effects and doesn’t impact vital organs significantly. Commonly known as laughing gas, it induces feelings of happiness and warmth, making it ideal for nervous dental patients and pain relief. While less common nowadays, we’re happy to offer it if you’re extremely anxious or in need of pain relief during your procedure. Our priority is your relaxation throughout any treatment.

Sedation dentistry is separate from medication that you might receive for pain. While sedation dentistry will help you relax, you might also receive a local anesthetic or general anesthesia for certain dental procedures. If the idea of sedation or pain medication makes you nervous, please do not hesitate to express your concerns with your dentist.
