What Is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
Nitrous oxide can help clients with dental fears or anxitieis feel more relaxed during dental treatments. Our world-class office in Atascocita, TX provides nitrous oxide sedation for long, complex procedures and to help individuals with dental fears and anxieties during normal appointments. Nitrous oxide (N2O) gas is a proven sedation method that can help you relax safely during your appointment. Commonly known as laughing gas, Dr. Umansky uses nitrous oxide to keep you awake while being completely relaxed. Set up a consultation at Aesthetic Dentistry Associates to learn more about using nitrous oxide or another form of sedation during your appointment.
How Does Nitrous Oxide Sedation Work?
Nitrous oxide gas will be administered before your treatment begins through a nasal hood. As you inhale the gas, it will act quickly and begin taking effect. Dr. Umansky or another member of his team will observe your health and response to the gas and adjust the amount as necessary throughout the procedure so you stay comfortable. You should expect tingling in your arms and legs and a feeling of warmth, euphoria, or well-being as the gas kicks in. Nitrous oxide is usually used along with a local anesthetic, like lidocaine, to deaden sensation. After the procedure is complete, the gas is shut off, and the effects will begin to fade immediately.
What Are the Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
At our dental practice in Atascocita, TX, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of our clients, especially those who may feel anxious about dental procedures. Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, provides a safe and convenient sedation option, offering several benefits, such as:
- Low-Risk and Minimal Side Effects: Nitrous oxide is known for being a safe sedation method with very few side effects, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of clients, including those who may be sensitive to other forms of sedation.
- Reduction of Gag Reflex: For clients who experience a strong gag reflex during dental procedures, nitrous oxide can help relax the reflex, making treatments more comfortable and efficient.
- Quick Recovery Time: One of the most significant benefits of nitrous oxide is its rapid dissipation from the body, allowing patients to quickly return to their daily activities without the need for a prolonged recovery period.
- Immediate Onset: Nitrous oxide takes effect within minutes, providing almost immediate relaxation and sedation.
- Conscious Sedation: While under nitrous oxide sedation, clients remain awake and able to communicate. This minimal level of sedation is ideal for those wishing to be alert and engaged during treatment.
- Suitable for All Ages: Nitrous oxide sedation is versatile and can be safely used for clients of all ages, making it an excellent option for both pediatric and adult patients.
