Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a safe and reliable means of sedation for anxious dental patients. It involves breathing in a non-irritating, colorless gas. A patient using nitrous oxide is able to breath on their own, remain in control of their body and ultimately, not remember the procedure.
Benefits of nitrous oxide include:
- The depth of sedation increased or decreased at any time
- There are no after effects
- Doesn’t affect the heart, lungs etc.
- Minimal gagging
- Works in as little as 2-3 minutes
