Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, known to many as laughing gas, is the most commonly used form of sedation in dentistry. It is very safe and effective. Laughing gas is administered by inhaling it through a mask. You will feel relaxed and calm while undergoing dental procedures. The feeling of fear and anxiety will fade away. For some, you may even fall asleep and not remember what happened during the procedure. Once the treatment is over, the laughing gas will wear off in few minutes and you will be able to return to your daily activities.
