What is Nitrous Oxide?

Nitrous oxide, popularly known as “laughing gas,” is a short-acting dental sedative that keeps patients relaxed and comfortable during operations. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling, non-irritating gas that you breathe in through a mask or nosepiece.

Nitrous oxide is one of the most popular sedation options in dentistry since it takes effect quickly and does not leave you feeling sleepy after the treatment. Laughing gas is best used for brief or uncomplicated dental operations.

How Does Laughing Gas Work?

Nitrous Oxide works by slowing down your nervous system, making you feel pleasant and relaxed. It lowers anxiety and discomfort during dental operations. It will not render you unconscious, allowing you to reply to our dentist’s questions and directions.

The effects of laughing gas combined with oxygen will be felt within three to five minutes of inhaling it. You may feel a variety of emotions, such as tranquility, relaxation, enjoyment, and lightheadedness. You may also notice minor tingling in your limbs. However, the effects may differ from person to person.

Is Nitrous Oxide Safe?

Yes. Nitrous oxide is regarded as the mildest and safest type of sedative, making it appropriate for most children and adults. Our dentists will always consider your medical history before deciding on sedation alternatives to ensure you receive safe and effective sedation.

Once your dental surgery is completed, the nitrous oxide will be switched off, and you will be given only oxygen to inhale to remove any lingering laughing gas from your system. The sedative’s effects will wear off within five to ten minutes.

Because nitrous oxide is a short-acting sedative, most patients can resume their normal daily activities immediately following the dental operation.
