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 us Dr. Angela Morales at the St. Andrew’s Dental Centre to make the most efficient use of your dental time while at 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 which you can breathe in. It has no colour, smell, and has no side effects.

Common Dental Fears:

Fear of Pain • Insufficient Freezing • Loss of Control • Sound of the Drill • Needle Phobia

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 altered from moment to moment.
• There’s no “hangover” effect – the gas is eliminated from the body within 3 to 5 minutes after the gas supply is stopped. You can safely drive home and don’t need an escort.
• No injection is required. In cases of very severe needle phobia, getting laughing gas first can help you feel relaxed enough to allow the needle required for IV sedation.
• Inhalation sedation is very safe.
• Inhalation sedation has been found to be very effective in eliminating or at least minimizing severe gagging.
