WHAT IS NITROUS OXIDE?

Nitrous oxide is commonly known as laughing gas, and is a popular form of sedation used in dental procedures such as wisdom tooth removal and dental implant restorations. Nitrous oxide is also used for periodontal disease treatments such as root planing and scaling. It has been a staple in sedation dentistry for decades because of its ability to manage dental pain and anxiety during procedures. The gas induces a relaxed state without loss of consciousness.

Nitrous oxide is particularly valuable in dentistry due to its rapid onset and offset. This allows for precise control of sedation levels throughout the procedure. It has both pain relieving and anxiety reducing effects. Another advantage is that its effects wear off fast. This allows patients to resume their daily activities without lingering drowsiness, and allows us to offer same day service for many procedures.
