At Friendly Family Dentistry, we understand that visiting the dentist can sometimes cause anxiety or discomfort. That’s why we offer Nitrous Oxide sedation, also known as laughing gas, as a gentle, effective way to help you feel calm and relaxed during your dental treatment.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous Oxide is a colorless, odorless gas that you breathe through a small mask placed over your nose. It works quickly to ease anxiety and pain, allowing you to stay awake and comfortable throughout your procedure.
Why Choose Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
- Fast-acting and adjustable: The calming effects start within minutes, and our dental team can easily adjust the level of sedation to fit your needs.
- Safe and gentle: Nitrous Oxide is safe for both children and adults. It leaves your body quickly, with no lingering after-effects, so you can resume normal activities right after your appointment.
- Needle-free sedation: There’s no injection involved, making it ideal for patients who fear needles or have sensitive gag reflexes.
How It Works
During your visit, you’ll wear a comfortable nasal mask that delivers a mixture of Nitrous Oxide and oxygen. You’ll feel a pleasant sense of relaxation and reduced discomfort while remaining fully conscious and responsive.
Who Can Benefit?
Nitrous Oxide sedation is perfect for patients who experience dental anxiety, have difficulty sitting still, or need help managing pain during minor dental procedures. It helps make your dental experience more comfortable and stress-free.
