Laughing Gas

Laughing gas is an excellent way to combat anxiety for most dental procedures. The mildest form of sedation that we use, laughing gas is inhaled through a small mask that rests over your nose. Laughing gas is odorless and is used in combination with pure oxygen to induce a feeling of relaxation and well-being during treatment. We can easily customize the level of sedation for each patient, which takes effect within minutes.

Being a mild sedative, you won't experience any short-term memory loss as you might with other forms of sedation. When treatment is finished, your child is placed on oxygen and air and, within a few minutes, the laughing gas has left your child’s system. You don't even need an escort to or from your appointment if you are using only laughing gas for sedation.
