How Does Nitrous Oxide Sedation Work?
You may have heard nitrous oxide affectionately referred to as “laughing gas.” This light form of sedation is well known for helping anxious patients feel peaceful, happy, and sometimes even a little giggly! Administering it couldn’t be easier—we’ll simply place a small mask over your nose. Within moments of inhaling the colorless, odorless gas, you’ll feel your worries melt away as you become completely at-ease.
All throughout your treatment, we’ll keep a close eye on your breathing and heart rate. We’ll be able to adjust the level of sedation at any time to ensure you’re as comfortable and safe as possible. While you’ll remain conscious the entire time, you won’t be bothered by any of the sights, sounds, or feelings that would otherwise cause you anxiety. After your treatment, we’ll remove the mask and you’ll return to your normal level of awareness right away.
Who Should Consider Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
Nitrous oxide has proven to be a safe and effective solution for a wide variety of patients! We typically recommend it for patients who have:
- Slight to moderate dental anxiety or phobia.
- A strong gag reflex or very sensitive teeth.
- Difficulty holding their jaw open or sitting still.
- Difficulty feeling physically comfortable in the examination chair.
However, nitrous oxide is not recommended for everyone, including those who are pregnant, have elevated blood pressure, or glaucoma. Your dentist will carefully review your medical history to help you choose the best way to make your appointments as comfortable as possible.
What Are the Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
There are numerous advantages of choosing to make your dental visits more comfortable with nitrous oxide, including:
