Why Choose Infinity Dental Care For Nitrous Oxide?

How Does Nitrous Oxide Sedation Work?

You may have heard nitrous oxide affectionately referred to as “laughing gas.” This light form of sedation is well known for helping anxious patients feel peaceful, happy, and sometimes even a little giggly! Administering it couldn’t be easier—we’ll simply place a small mask over your nose. Within moments of inhaling the colorless, odorless gas, you’ll feel your worries melt away as you become completely at-ease.

All throughout your treatment, we’ll keep a close eye on your breathing and heart rate. We’ll be able to adjust the level of sedation at any time to ensure you’re as comfortable and safe as possible. While you’ll remain conscious the entire time, you won’t be bothered by any of the sights, sounds, or feelings that would otherwise cause you anxiety. After your treatment, we’ll remove the mask and you’ll return to your normal level of awareness right away.
