Nitrous oxide sometimes called “laughing gas” is one option our dentists at Bridge Smile Dental Group P.A. may offer to help make you more comfortable during certain procedures. Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask that fits over your nose and helps you relax. If a visit to the dentist’s office makes you cringe, or you simply wish to remove the discomfort from a professional cleaning, we are here to make you as calm as possible.
Receiving nitrous oxide as a form of sedation is the only type that allows you to drive yourself home after the procedure. It is not intended to put you to sleep, and you will be able to hear and respond to any requests or directions the dentist may have. Overall, you may feel light-headed or a tingling sensation in your arms and legs, but the effects of nitrous oxide will wear off soon after the mask is removed.
If you suffer from dental fear, give us a call to discuss your treatment options.
