What is nitrous oxide?
Combined with oxygen, nitrous oxide is renowned for its calming properties. In dentistry, we use it to relieve the stress of patients who are negatively anticipating the care we are about to provide. In contrast to general anesthesia, sedation with nitrous oxide enables the patient to remain conscious throughout the procedure. The patient may feel calmer and more relaxed, and some even experience a dream-like floating sensation.

Is nitrous oxide sedation safe?
Nitrous oxide is one of the safest sedation agents for anxiety control. It is a low-potency analgesic that the patient inhales through a nasal mask, and is completely eliminated from the body within five minutes of stopping the sedation session. The patient remains fully conscious during the treatment and can therefore give feedback on how he or she is feeling.
In short, the benefits are numerous:
- Fast-acting;
- Very safe;
- Patient remains awake;
- Elimination in 5 minutes;
- Suitable for young children;
- Promotes a positive experience.
This is a proven method. Don’t hesitate to discuss your fears or dental anxiety with your dentist to plan care under conscious sedation. Because your health and well-being are important to us.
