What Is Laughing Gas?

Laughing gas provides an excellent way to combat anxiety for most dental procedures. The mildest form of sedation that we use, nitrous oxide flows through a comfortable mask that rests over your nose. Laughing gas is odorless and is used in combination with pure oxygen to induce a feeling of relaxation and well-being during treatment. Laughing gas often creates a pleasant feeling of euphoria that can make ordinary things seem funnier. We can easily customize the level of sedation for each patient, which takes effect within minutes.

What To Expect With Laughing Gas

Laughing gas is a type of sedative that is typically used for short procedures. It is considered to be very safe and has a relatively short recovery time. Here is what you can expect when you are given laughing gas for a procedure:

When the gas is first turned on, you will feel a cold sensation in your nose. This is normal and should go away after a few seconds.

You may feel lightheaded and dizzy. 

You may also feel like you are floating or dream-like state.

You will be able to hear and see what is going on around you, but you will not be able to respond.The sedative effect of the gas will last for a few minutes to a half an hour. 

Once the gas is turned off, the effects will wear off quickly. 

You may feel a little groggy for a short time after the gas is turned off. 

It is important that you do not drive or operate machinery until the effects of the gas have worn off completely.

After Effects of Laughing Gas

Laughing gas is generally considered to be a very safe sedative. There are very few side effects and it has a short recovery time. It is important to follow the instructions of your doctor or dentist when you are given laughing gas so that you can have a safe and positive experience.
