Comfortable and Calm Dental Appointments
If dental visits make you feel nervous or uneasy, you are not alone. At Druid Hills Dental, we provide nitrous oxide sedation to help patients feel more relaxed during their dental treatments. This safe and effective option allows you to remain awake and aware while reducing anxiety and discomfort, making your visit more pleasant from start to finish.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, often called “laughing gas,” is a gentle sedative inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose. It works quickly to help you feel calm and relaxed, yet you stay conscious and responsive. The effects wear off within minutes after the mask is removed, so you can resume normal activities without needing a driver.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide offers unique advantages that make it a popular choice for patients of all ages:
- Rapid Relaxation: Works within minutes of inhalation.
- Adjustable Sedation: Levels can be tailored to your comfort.
- Safe for Children and Adults: Suitable for most patients.
- No Lingering Effects: Quick recovery allows you to return to daily activities.
- Reduces Anxiety and Discomfort: Makes procedures more tolerable.
Who Can Benefit?
Nitrous oxide may be recommended for patients who:
- Feel anxious or uneasy about dental treatments
- Have difficulty staying still for long procedures
- Experience a strong gag reflex
- Want a calm, stress-free dental experience
- Prefer a sedation method that allows immediate activity after the appointment
Before using nitrous oxide, our team reviews your medical history to ensure this sedation method is appropriate for you.
