What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a mild inhaled sedative that helps you feel calm and comfortable during dental treatment. It is breathed in through a small nose mask and begins working within minutes.
You remain fully awake and able to respond, but any anxiety or tension is greatly reduced. Once the mask is removed, the effects fade quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities right away.
