Dental anxiety is real, and you’re not alone. Plenty of patients feel nervous about getting the care they need. That’s why we offer Nitrous Oxide to keep your experience soothing, painless, and stress-free.
No one deserves to struggle with stress or pain during dental treatment. Sedation options are an effective way to receive the dental care you need without the worry and anxiety that may come with visiting the dentist’s office. All it takes to get started is a simple conversation with your dentist to see what option works best for you.
About 40% of Americans are affected by dental anxiety.

Sedation soothes the body and keeps you from wiggling, which allows your dentist to complete the treatment in less time.
Choking and gagging reflexes are put on pause under sedation, so your dentist can complete a precise procedure without any unexpected movements.
Experiencing a comfortable treatment reduces your dental phobia and trains your brain to associate positive memories with dentistry.
First, your dentist will review your treatment plan to determine if sedation is a good option for your procedure. Your dentist will then discuss your past health history and any current health problems that may affect your ability to be sedated with your chosen method.
Your dentist will ask questions to determine your particular needs and concerns. How deeply do you wish to be sedated? What is making you anxious about your procedure? Do you have a low pain threshold? An honest conversation with your dentist will determine if sedation is appropriate for you.
Next, your dentist will outline the available sedation and describe the side effects and instructions. With their recommendation and your input, we can help you choose if sedation is right for you.
If you are healthy, do not have a history of drug abuse, and are not taking any medications that may interfere with the sedation process, you should be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Reach out to our team to learn more about Nitrous Oxide.
Absolutely. Our team is qualified and experienced in providing nitrous oxide. While deeper methods of sedation like oral conscious sedation and IV sedation have more prolonged side effects compared to laughing gas (or nitrous oxide), they are still very safe, and they have no serious risks to your health or well-being if you are a good candidate for sedation. At our practice, we only offer nitrous oxide as a sedation option.
Each sedation option feels a little different, so it depends on the method you receive. We offer Nitrous Oxide, or commonly known as laughing gas, which will make you feel light-headed, giggly, and relaxed, but you will be fully conscious and aware of your surroundings. You will also feel less discomfort during treatment.
For most cases, sedation is used to treat dental anxiety. Dental anxiety is extremely common for patients of all ages and can keep people from getting the care they need. If you are anxious or nervous about coming to the dentist, sedation can help you feel more safe and comfortable.
Sedation also minimizes pain and discomfort during more invasive procedures, such as tooth extractions and dental implant placements. It also helps you feel more comfortable if you require multiple dental procedures and need to sit still for several hours during treatment.
