Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a sedation method that is commonly used for both children and adults struggling with dental anxiety.
It’s a safe and effective sedation that is administered through a small mask placed over your nose and mouth, and can be adjusted as needed by our Toronto dentist. You’ll immediately feel relaxed once it’s administered, and also remain awake and able to communicate with our dental team.
Suitable for a Variety of Patients
Nitrous oxide is suitable for a variety of patients. It’s especially beneficial for:
Any dental services that you are receiving at our dental clinic in Toronto can be used in conjunction with nitrous oxide to ensure a comfortable and less stressful dental experience. For example, this gentle sedation method can be used for procedures such as fillings, tooth extractions, root canals, deep cleaning, and more. Our team always prioritizes patient comfort and safety, making nitrous oxide an ideal option for those seeking a relaxed dental visit while receiving the dental care they need and deserve.
As mentioned above, nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask. Once inhaled, it quickly induces a feeling of euphoria and relaxation, allowing patients to feel more comfortable immediately and can be adjusted easily. After the procedure, nitrous oxide wears off quickly, allowing patients to return to their normal activities immediately, without any lingering sedation or the need for someone else to drive them home.
