Nitrous Oxide is a sweet smelling, non-irritating, colorless gas which you can breathe. It has been the primary means of sedation in dentistry for many years. Nitrous oxide is safe since the patients are able to breathe on their own and remain in control of all bodily functions. The patients may experience mild amnesia and may fall asleep not remembering all of what happened during their appointment.

  • There is no after effect such as a "hangover."
  • Inhalation sedation is safe with no side effects on you heart and lung, etc.

  • It works rapidly as it reaches the brain within 20 seconds. In as few as 2-3 minutes its relaxation and pain killing properties develop.
