What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide is a colorless gas that is inhaled through a mask. It works by reducing your awareness of pain and anxiety, while still allowing you to communicate with our dental care team.
How Does Nitrous Oxide Work?
During your appointment, you will breathe through a mask that delivers nitrous oxide.
The gas will make you feel relaxed and euphoric. You will remain conscious throughout the procedure, but you may feel a sense of detachment from your surroundings.
Nitrous oxide can help calm your nerves and relax your dental appointment. It can provide mild pain relief during procedures.
When administered by a qualified dental professional, nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedation method.
