Sedation Dentistry

Laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide, is frequently utilized as a sedation method prior to dental treatments. The appropriate dosage will be determined by our dentist based on the patient's age and treatment needs. The sedation typically takes about five minutes to take effect and numb the area being treated. Patients will inhale the gas through nose pieces or masks while undergoing the procedure.

Patients are given a prescription for a pill for this type of sedation. The dentist usually advises taking oral conscious sedation one hour before a dental procedure. When working with young patients, dentists may opt for a liquid form to make pediatric dentistry services easier.
