Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Comfortable Dentistry for Adults and Children!

Nitrous oxide sedation transforms anxious adults and children filled with dental fear into comfortable, relaxed, and responsive patients. This allows Dr. Angela Morales and the St. Andrew’s Dental Centre team to make the most efficient use of your dental time while you’re in the chair. It also leaves you feeling completely positive about your dental treatment experience.

Nitrous oxide sedation has helped millions of people overcome their dental anxiety. It is safe, effective, and the most trusted of all dental relaxation techniques. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is simply a gas you can breathe in. It has no color, smell, or side effects.

Common Dental Fears:

What Are the Advantages of Nitrous Oxide?

Nitrous oxide works very rapidly — it reaches the brain within 20 seconds.
The depth of sedation can be adjusted from moment to moment.
There’s no “hangover” effect — the gas is eliminated from the body within 3 to 5 minutes after the supply is stopped. You can safely drive home and don’t need an escort.
No injection is required. For cases of severe needle phobia, using laughing gas first can help you relax enough to allow the needle required for IV sedation.
Inhalation sedation is very safe.
