Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild sedative administered through a mask placed over your nose. It helps you relax without putting you to sleep. As you breathe in the gas, you may feel a sense of calm and detachment from anxiety, making it easier to undergo dental procedures.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide:
- Quick onset and easy to adjust
- Minimal side effects
- Allows you to remain awake and responsive
- Quick recovery time after the procedure
