Nitrous oxide sedation is given through a small mask placed over your nose. As you breathe in the gas, you’ll start to feel calm, relaxed, and even giggly, while still staying awake and able to talk to your dentist. The effects begin within minutes and can be adjusted throughout your visit to keep you comfortable. Once the procedure is done, the nitrous oxide is turned off, and the calming effects wear off quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities right away.
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedation gas used in dentistry to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures.
Patients with certain medical conditions, breathing issues, or who are unable to breathe through their nose may not be good candidates. Your dentist will review this with you beforehand.
Nitrous oxide helps reduce anxiety and discomfort, but it doesn’t fully block pain. Local anesthesia is usually used along with it for pain control.
The side effects are generally mild and include potential dizziness or nausea, which typically go away quickly after the gas is stopped.
The effects wear off within minutes after the gas is turned off, allowing most patients to drive themselves home and return to daily activities.
