Nitrous Oxide Sedation Upper St. Claire

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective sedative that is mixed with oxygen and then inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. 

Nitrous oxide is a great option for those who feel anxious when undergoing dental procedures. While nitrous oxide won't put you to sleep, it will help you relax. 

You Remain Responsive While Under Nitrous Oxide

With nitrous oxide, you will remain awake and responsive. This will allow you to hear and respond to the directions or requests made by your dentist. 

Nitrous Oxide Works quickly

As you breathe normally through your nose, you will inhale the nitrous oxide. Within a few minutes, you will begin to feel the relaxing effects of the sedative. 

Nitrous Oxide Wears off quickly

After your procedure, the mask is removed, and you will notice the effects wear off fairly quickly. Unlike with other forms of sedation, you are not required to have a driver take you home after your appointment. You will be able to drive yourself to and from.
