Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is a common sedation method for younger patients or adults with mild dental anxiety. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is breathed in through a mask so it works quickly and wears off just as fast.

Nitrous oxide is mild and very safe, even for little ones. If your child is especially nervous about the dentist’s office, we can use laughing gas for their first 2–3 treatment appointments, as these are fundamental appointments for them to become comfortable being at the dental office and getting the dental work they need.

What Does Laughing Gas Do Exactly?

Laughing gas provides mild anesthetic properties when inhaled. It helps you relax and temporarily slows certain responses in your body, like those responsible for pain. It is a popular sedation method that works quickly, has little to no side effects, and allows you to return to your normal, attentive self minutes after use.

What Does Laughing Gas Feel Like?

Laughing gas is popular because it has few side effects that can impair sensation, as opposed to oral sedation techniques. The most sensitive patients may have a slight feeling of euphoria, but for most, there can be a sense of numbness, light-headedness, or tingling.

Does Laughing Gas Make Me Laugh?

It is a common misconception that laughing gas will cause uncontrolled laughter. In reality, the tingling sensation is what causes some patients to laugh or giggle. As this is one of the safest methods of conscious sedation, laughing gas can help with pediatric dentistry, meaning children are more likely to get a fit of the “giggles.”

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation helps you feel more relaxed, and it is best if you have a complex treatment; it is a pill you chew and start feeling relaxed for an extended period of time. Your brain will be functioning, and your body will be in its relaxed and sleepy state for an extended during this time.

Our highly experienced and caring dentist will be communicating with you during your treatment to make you feel relaxed and safe. You will need a family member or friend to drive you back home because after taking this pill, it is not safe for you to drive yourself because your body is in sleepy and relaxed mode.

IV Sedation Dentistry?

This is the deepest form of sedation available. You will be attached to an IV, which will introduce sedation medication directly into your bloodstream. It is ideal for anyone with moderate to extreme dental anxiety or for patients who need help relaxing during longer treatments. Our highly experienced dentist will be talking with you during your dental visit to make sure that you don’t fall asleep.
