What Is Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)?
Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a safe and gentle form of inhalation sedation that helps patients feel relaxed and at ease during dental treatments. Delivered through a soft nasal mask, the gas produces a calming effect within minutes while allowing you to remain awake and responsive.
It’s ideal for those who experience dental anxiety, have a sensitive gag reflex, or simply want a more comfortable treatment experience. Once the mask is removed, the effects fade quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities right away.
