What is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
Nitrous Oxide, often referred to as "laughing gas," is a safe and effective sedative agent mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask that fits over your nose. It helps patients relax during their dental procedures. Unlike other forms of sedation, nitrous oxide's effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed, allowing patients to resume their normal activities soon after their appointment.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation
- The quick onset of action
- The level of sedation can be adjusted in real-time
- Patients remain conscious and can communicate
- Minimal side effects
- Fast recovery time
How Does Nitrous Oxide Sedation Work?
- The patient breathes in nitrous oxide through a nose mask.
- The gas begins to take effect within minutes, inducing a state of relaxation.
- Throughout the procedure, the dental team monitors the patient's comfort and adjusts the sedation level as needed.
- Once the procedure is completed, the mask is removed, and the effects of the gas diminish quickly.
- Patients are usually able to drive themselves home after the procedure.
