Colbert Family Dental is pleased to offer nitrous oxide sedation, commonly referred to as "laughing gas." This safe and effective relaxation method takes the edge off your anxiety so you can have a comfortable dental experience.
How Does Nitrous Oxide Work?
Nitrous is a gas that’s blended with oxygen and administered through a small breathing mask. As you inhale, the calming effects take over quickly, leaving you feeling very relaxed and a little drowsy. The activity around you will seem to fade away; however, you will remain fully conscious.
Who Can Benefit from Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide is ideal for patients of any age who experience anxiety or fear about dental procedures. It's also beneficial if you have a low pain threshold, require a large amount of dental work, or have a strong gag reflex.
Using nitrous oxide offers several benefits: It is effective for managing pain and anxiety, is quick to take hold, and the level of relaxation can be adjusted easily in real time. Its effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed, so you can resume your normal activities without any downtime.
