Nitrous Oxide Sedation: Overview

Sedation is a method of relaxation for patients who are apprehensive about dental procedures. One of the most established forms of sedation is nitrous oxide sedation, known popularly as “laughing gas” because of the sense of euphoria that may accompany it. This no-needle approach to dental sedation is appealing to many patients who may otherwise avoid the dentist altogether. Nitrous oxide sedation is inhaled with a mixture of oxygen. It has the effect of calming a patient and suppressing pain. It can also be used in conjunction with a local anesthetic in order to eliminate pain.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation: Risks and Benefits

Nitrous oxide sedation has been deemed safe by the American Dental Association for decades, and there are very few risks attached to its use. The administration of nitrous oxide sedation does stifle reflexes and senses, so a reliable ride home from the procedure is critical.

Because nitrous oxide sedation is so relaxing, patients can undergo longer procedures without feeling the effects. This can dramatically limit the number of visits that are needed to complete a treatment. Nitrous oxide sedation allows basic responses to comments or questions, which will aid your dentist in the procedure. Overall, though, the greatest benefit of nitrous oxide sedation is the alleviation of anxiety that will help you to get the dental work that you need.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation: Candidates

Most patients will find that nitrous oxide sedation is a viable form of relaxation during a dental procedure. It is not recommended for children or for women who are pregnant. For the majority of the population who puts off going to the dentist for fear of pain or discomfort, nitrous oxide sedation is an ideal solution.
