Here at Prairie Hawk Dental, we want our patients to be as comfortable as possible when they are undergoing dental procedures. This is why we offernitrous oxide sedation as one of our sedation options.
Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is inhaled by the patient when they are sitting in the chair. It helps offer them full body relaxation and takes a lot of the edge off. Whether the patient has severe dental anxiety or is simply getting a lengthy procedure, nitrous oxide sedation can be very useful.
Nitrous oxide sedation is safe for children and adults. In fact, nitrous oxide was originally identified in 1772, and it began being used in dentistry in the mid 1800’s. Many of our younger children and teen patients get it so they aren’t fearful of their dental procedures. Nitrous oxide also wears off quickly, which is a big benefit for all of our patients. After removing the mask, it takes only a few minutes for them to feel back to normal.
Patients can drive or return to work or school right after having an appointment with nitrous oxide sedation. If you would like to try nitrous oxide sedation, visit Dr. Aaron Goodman in Castle Rock, CO for a consultation.
