Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, provides a gentle form of sedation that creates a sensation like having enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine. Every treatment room, including the hygiene areas, is equipped with a straightforward nitrous oxide delivery system. Patients simply inhale the gas to experience its calming effects. The concentration of the gas can be easily adjusted to ensure optimal comfort throughout the procedure. Once the treatment is complete, there are no lasting side effects, and patients can drive themselves home, making this a convenient and widely favored sedation option that will put you at ease.
