At Dental Elements, we understand that dental visits can sometimes induce anxiety and apprehension. To address this concern, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), a safe and effective inhalation therapy that promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety during dental procedures.
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild sedative that is administered through a nasal mask. It induces a state of relaxation and mild euphoria, often accompanied by giggles, hence the nickname “laughing gas.” Nitrous oxide does not render you unconscious, allowing you to remain conscious and communicative throughout your dental procedure.
Reduces Dental Anxiety: Nitrous oxide effectively alleviates dental anxiety and apprehension, making dental visits less stressful and more manageable.
Promotes Relaxation: Nitrous oxide induces a state of relaxation and calmness, allowing you to undergo dental treatments without discomfort or fear.
Quick and Reversible Effects: The effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly after the administration is stopped, allowing you to drive home safely after your dental appointment.
Safe and Effective: Nitrous oxide has been safely used in dentistry for over a century.
Nitrous oxide is particularly beneficial for individuals who:
Experience mild to moderate dental anxiety
Require less complex or shorter dental procedures
Prefer a milder form of sedation
Have difficulty controlling their movements
Have a history of sensitive gag reflexes
Consultation: You will have a thorough consultation with our dentist to discuss your medical history, assess your anxiety levels, and determine the suitability of nitrous oxide for your dental needs.
Preparation: There is minimal preparation required before nitrous oxide administration. You may be asked to avoid certain medications or substances that may interact with the sedative.
Administration: Our experienced dental team will administer nitrous oxide through a nasal mask. You will be provided with instructions on how to inhale the gas and control your breathing.
Dental Treatment: Once you are relaxed and comfortable, our dentist will proceed with your dental treatment. You will remain conscious and communicative throughout the procedure.
Recovery: The effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly after the administration is stopped. You will be monitored for a brief period before being allowed to go home.
