Some patients may feel anxious or uncomfortable when visiting the dentist. At Sunset Country Dental in Dryden, dental care can be provided under nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help patients feel more at ease during treatment.
Sedation dentistry can be considered for individuals who experience:
All forms of sedation are provided under the supervision of a qualified dentist, following appropriate safety protocols and monitoring requirements.
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as "laughing gas" is a type of conscious sedation used in dentistry to help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation during dental treatment. It is inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose, and its effects begin within minutes.
Nitrous oxide has been used safely for many years in both dental and medical settings. As with any medical procedure, there are some situations in which nitrous oxide may not be appropriate. It may not be recommended for patients with certain respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, or other significant breathing difficulties, or for individuals with severe claustrophobia.
Your dentist will review your medical history and assess whether this form of sedation is suitable for you. A brief trial of nitrous oxide may also be offered to determine comfort and tolerance before proceeding with treatment.
