Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is a safe and effective way to help patients feel more relaxed during dental treatment. It is inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose and quickly creates a calm, comfortable feeling while you remain awake and able to respond.

Local anesthetic is also used to ensure the treatment area is completely numb and pain-free.

Nitrous oxide is especially helpful for patients with dental anxiety. The effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed, allowing most patients to resume normal activities right after their visit.

It has been safely used in dentistry for many years to help make dental care easier and more comfortable.
