Nitrous Oxide-Laughing Gas- Conscious Sedation
While you are having your dental work completed you will breathe laughing gas through a nasal mask. The concentration is adjusted so that you are relaxed and feel like you are floating. You aren’t asleep; rather you are zoned-out.
You’ll be able to answer questions and recall the entire dental procedure. When the procedure is finished you will breathe oxygen for a few minutes and return to feeling completely normal. You will even be able to drive yourself home.
