At Olmos Park Family and Implant Dentistry, we understand that visiting the dentist can sometimes create feelings of anxiety for our patients. Our dentists and team offer nitrous oxide as a safe, effective option to help patients feel at ease during their treatment. This light sedation allows you to relax while remaining fully aware and in control, creating a more comfortable experience from start to finish.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide, often known as “laughing gas,” has been a trusted option for dental care for decades. Here is why it is such a popular choice:
- Fast-acting: Nitrous oxide works quickly, allowing you to feel its relaxing effects within minutes.
- Customizable levels: We can adjust the sedation level throughout your procedure to ensure maximum comfort.
- Quick recovery: Unlike deeper sedatives, nitrous oxide wears off quickly, allowing you to return to daily activities without lingering drowsiness.
- Safe for all ages: Nitrous oxide is a versatile option suitable for both children and adults, making it ideal for families.
How Nitrous Oxide Works
During your visit, Dr. Amogh Bhalerao or Dr. Margot Metz will administer nitrous oxide through a small mask placed comfortably over your nose. As you inhale the gas, you will start to feel a sense of calm and relaxation. Because nitrous oxide allows you to stay awake and communicative, our dentists and team can ensure you are comfortable every step of the way.
Once your treatment is complete, the effects of nitrous oxide subside within minutes as you breathe regular oxygen. This quick recovery makes nitrous oxide an ideal choice for many patients who want to feel refreshed and alert shortly after their appointment.
