Nitrous oxide sedation

Nitrous oxide, sometimes called “laughing gas,” is a mild form of sedation that helps you feel calmer without putting you to sleep. It’s delivered through a small nasal mask and works within minutes, helping reduce tension and making your appointment feel more manageable.

You remain awake, able to respond, and fully aware of what’s happening. The effect fades quickly once the gas is turned off, so you can return to normal activities shortly after your visit.

What happens during nitrous oxide sedation

We place a small mask over your nose and adjust the flow until you feel comfortable. Throughout the appointment, we check in to ensure the level of sedation feels right for you.
