Nitrous Oxide

 

Nitrous oxide (NO2 or called laughing gas), enhances comfort and relieves anxiety in both children and adults. NO2 is safe and effective for reducing anxiety and creating a calm, peaceful sensation. The gas is administered through a face mask and contains a carefully controlled mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen.You will be totally comfortable as Dr. Tomasik performs your dental work. You’ll retain awareness so that you can respond to Dr. Tomasik’s instruction and answer questions during your procedure.When the mask is removed, the effects of laughing gas immediately subside. Most can drive themselves home following the visit, with no interruptions to your daily activities.If you’ve found nitrous oxide to be ineffective for your dental phobia, we also offer oral sedation dentistry, here.
