What is laughing gas and what does it do?
Nitrous Oxide, commonly referred to as Laughing Gas, is a mild sedative that can help reduce your anxiety. It will not put you to sleep. It’s colorless and odorless and its usefulness stems from its ability to quickly work and safely reverse its effects. It is a widely considered safe dental sedation method.
We offer complimentary nitrous oxide for our patients to ensure they are comfortable and relaxed for any procedure.

What is Oral Sedation Like?
With oral sedation, we provide you with a safe prescription pill. You can take it at home, so you arrive already feeling relaxed and remain that way throughout your treatment. It usually takes 30-60 minutes for the sedative to take effect. You’ll remain conscious during treatment though largely unaware of your surroundings. You’ll need a ride home, as you’ll likely feel groggy for several hours.
