Nitrous oxide sedation or commonly called “laughing gas, is an odourless gas which affects the central nervous system. It has been used in medicine and dentistry for many years and is considered one of the safest forms of sedation available.
If you are anxious or uncomfortable with dental treatment, this type of sedation can provide you with enough sedation to make you feel relaxed throughout your appointment.
The benefits of nitrous oxide sedation are numerous, one being that you remain fully conscious and aware during your appointment. It is administered through a nosepiece and the depth of sedation can be varied at will by the dentist.
Your dental treatment with nitrous oxide will progress smoothly, safely with the elimination of fear and anxiety.
