\"Patient<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re anxious about visiting your dentist, the thought of receiving relief through laughing gas<\/a> might only be adding to your concerns. Maybe you\u2019ve heard some horror stories about other anesthetics, or maybe you simply can\u2019t relax until you know all the facts. Either way, keep reading. You\u2019ll find that laughing gas sedation is a dependable solution for dental anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Exactly is Laughing Gas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLaughing gas\u201d is this anesthetic\u2019s more common name, but you might find it listed under your dentist\u2019s services as \u201cnitrous oxide sedation\u201d.  Neither of these terms is completely accurate in a dental office. The treatment is a gas, and it does involve nitrous oxide. However, it probably won\u2019t make you laugh, and dentists combine nitrous oxide with oxygen to make it safe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This combination of gases will be administered via a mask fitted over your nose. Its calming effects will quickly take hold and soothe you, and your dentist can regulate your dosage during your treatment. You\u2019ll be relaxed in the patient chair while your dentist works to restore your teeth to pristine condition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laughing Gas is Professionally Approved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The American Dental Association (ADA) has determined that laughing gas is safe to use in dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to laughing gas having a sound chemical combination, laughing gas devices <\/em>have security features to help prevent mistakes in administering the gas to patients. These include audio and visual cues that assist dentists, but also a failsafe system that protects patients from inhaling pure nitrous oxide. Professionals agree that laughing gas is safe to inhale in controlled environments and easy to regulate in-office!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laughing Gas Side Effects: Little to None<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overall, laughing gas is non-addictive and doesn\u2019t provoke allergies. Most patients are able to walk out of the dental office and drive themselves home almost as soon as they sit up from the chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small number of patients experience nausea, but generally you only need to be worried about long-term effects in cases of overdose or misuse. Remember that laughing gas devices are designed to be reliable. You\u2019ll be in good hands with your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Laughing Gas Make You Unconscious?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since laughing gas is a relatively mild sedative, you might be wondering at this point if it even does anything. The short answer is yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you won\u2019t be knocked out completely, rest assured that the ADA has also determined laughing gas to be successful. It moves through your system quickly \u2013 the same properties that allow it to wear off soon after treatment allow it to relax you almost as soon as its administered. Alarming sights and sounds will diminish, and though you\u2019ll be able to respond to your dentist, you won\u2019t feel any pain. So no more putting off that root canal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s natural to be nervous when we don\u2019t have all the information, or when we\u2019re expecting an unpleasant situation. You can take solace in knowing that laughing gas is a safe, effective, professionally used and approved method for making the dental environment more comfortable. If you\u2019re still feeling jittery, that\u2019s natural too! Contact your dentist to talk out your worries. They\u2019ll help reassure you and do what they can to ensure a positive visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
