Nitrous oxide is an inorganic gas used as a sedative during dental treatments. Also known as laughing gas, it is an effective mild sedative that provides comfort to patients during the treatment. Nitrous oxide is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a mask to take effect on the body. It helps patients overcome fear and anxiety about the treatment and relax during the dental procedure. Del Rey Dental provides nitrous oxide sedation to patients with the help of expert dentists in Dallas, TX.
Nitrous oxide is administered to the patient on the dental chair. A mask is attached to the patient's nose through which the sedative is inhaled. It gives a warm tingling sensation to the patient and makes them light-headed. The sedative makes the patient feel relaxed, calm, and giggly during the treatment. The dentist keeps track of the level of the sedative and only provides the required amount to the patient. The patient can communicate to the dentist when the sedative is administered. The effect of the sedative wears off immediately after the mask is detached from the nose.Â
