What is Nitrous?
Nitrous is a type of anesthetic that is used for many dental patients. Often referred to as laughing gas, nitrous oxide puts patients into a partially dissociative state that allows them to receive dental care comfortably and effectively. It is safely administered and can be used on patients of all ages and varying needs. In fact, it is especially beneficial for patients who have special needs or smaller children who are having difficulties receiving treatment.

Why would you need Nitrous?
Nitrous can be used to put you into a calmer, more relaxed state while having work done. Many people are nervous of the dental office and tend to forgo treatment because of this fear. When you have nitrous oxide, you’re put into a relaxed state that allows you to still be slightly aware of your surroundings without truly understanding what’s going on. The sedation is provided easily and safely in our office and is available upon request.
