At Mallard Creek Family Dentistry, we know that many patients feel anxious about visiting the dentist. This is completely normal, and we want to help. Sedation dentistry is a way to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your dental treatments. It involves using medication to calm you down and make your experience more pleasant. We offer nitrous oxide to allow for a stress-free dental care experience for more invasive treatment and for patients who suffer from dental anxiety.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a popular form of sedation used in dentistry. It is a safe and effective way to help you relax during your dental appointments. Nitrous oxide is administered through a small mask that fits over your nose. You will breathe in the gas, which quickly takes effect, making you feel calm and comfortable.
One of the great things about nitrous oxide is that it works fast. You may feel a sense of euphoria or light-headedness, which can help take your mind off any anxiety you may have. Even though you are relaxed, you will still be awake and able to respond to the dentist’s instructions. This is important because we want to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
Another advantage of nitrous oxide is that it wears off quickly. After your treatment, we will provide you with pure oxygen to breathe, which helps remove the nitrous oxide from your system. Most patients can return to their normal activities right after their appointment, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
