A lot of people feel uneasy about visiting the dentist. This uneasiness is known as dental anxiety, and it can make routine care seem like a much bigger deal than it is. At the office of Kenneth R. Russell DDS, we’ve helped patients overcome their fears since 1989. One method that has been particularly effective is nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as “laughing gas.”
- Reduces Anxiety Instantly. Nitrous oxide works quickly to ease nervousness, helping patients relax within minutes. You stay conscious throughout the procedure but feel calm and at ease.
- Safe and Non-Invasive. Nitrous oxide is administered through a small mask placed over your nose, making it one of the safest and least invasive sedation options. Its effects wear off shortly after the mask is removed, so there’s no lingering drowsiness.
- Helps with Gag Reflexes. For patients with a strong gag reflex, nitrous oxide reduces sensitivity, making treatments like cleanings or fillings more comfortable.
- Customized Dosage for Comfort. One of the best aspects of nitrous oxide is its adjustability. We easily fine-tune the dosage to suit your needs and give you a stress-free experience.
- Suitable for All Ages. Nitrous oxide is a safe choice for adults and children. It’s an excellent way to help younger patients stay calm during their visit so they stay cooperative and comfortable.
- Your Oral Health Improves. When anxiety prevents you from getting the dental care you need, your oral health suffers. Nitrous oxide allows you to overcome those fears and receive care comfortably.
