Nitrous Oxide Sedation

For patients who experience dental anxiety or need additional comfort during dental procedures, nitrous oxide sedation offers a safe and effective solution. At Best Choice Dental, our dentist provide nitrous oxide sedation to ensure a relaxed and stress-free experience for patients.

What Is Nitrous Oxide?

Nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as “laughing gas,” is a mild sedative used in dentistry to help patients feel at ease during treatment. It is administered through a small mask placed over the nose, delivering a blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen. The sedative effect takes hold quickly, inducing a calm and relaxed state while allowing the patient to remain fully conscious and able to communicate.

Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation

  • Quick Onset: The effects of nitrous oxide are felt within minutes of administration.
  • Adjustable Levels: The sedation level can be tailored to each patient’s comfort needs.
  • Minimal Side Effects: Nitrous oxide is gentle and typically wears off quickly after the mask is removed.
  • Safe for All Ages: It is an excellent option for children or patients with dental anxiety.
  • Convenient Recovery: Patients can usually resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.

What to Expect During Your Visit

When you arrive at Best Choice Dental, Dr. Sung Gyu Choi will discuss your sedation options and ensure you feel comfortable with the process. During the procedure, you will inhale the nitrous oxide through the nasal mask, which will quickly help you feel calm and relaxed. The sedative effect lasts only as long as the mask is in place, and pure oxygen is administered afterward to flush the nitrous oxide from your system.
