Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is the most commonly used sedation method in dental care. This helps you enter a relaxed, happy state, easing away any fear or anxiety so you can comfortably sit through your dental treatment. Usually, most procedures can be finished in a single visit while you’re sedated.
Nitrous oxide sedation is both safe and effective. After your treatment, the effects wear off quickly, allowing you to drive yourself home and get back to your normal routine.
Before using nitrous oxide, you’ll have a brief consultation with your dentist to ensure it’s a good option for you.
