If you suffer from dental anxiety and/or fear of the dentist, you have options to make your dental visit more comfortable and stress-free. If you suffer from a mild form of dental anxiety, Nitrous Oxide may be the right option when you visit us at Advanced Dentistry South Florida.
This form of sedation is also known as laughing gas. This is a form of conscious inhalation sedation (administered through the nose) that gives the patient an overall sense of relaxation and often a sense of euphoria as well. This procedure is available for adults and children as well.
What are the benefits of nitrous oxide sedation?
Does nitrous oxide sedation hurt?
While the use of nitrous oxide does not hurt, if at any time you feel uncomfortable, or you are experiencing symptoms that are unpleasant, alert your dentist immediately so that he or she can adjust the levels.
