What is Nitrous Oxide?

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is a mild form of sedation used to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental treatments. Delivered through a small, comfortable mask placed over the nose, nitrous oxide takes effect within minutes and helps reduce anxiety without putting you to sleep.

Once your treatment is complete, the effects wear off quickly, allowing you to return to your daily activities with no lingering drowsiness.
