About “Laughing Gas”
“Laughing Gas” is the sedation of choice for most patients who are interested in mild-moderate dental sedation. During your dental visit, you inhale the gas through a single-use mask that is placed over your nose. The amount of gas you receive is controlled by your Tennessee Family Dental dentist, who will administer enough gas so that you are totally relaxed during your dental procedure. You will feel the effects within minutes, but these effects will disappear after a “recovery period” of about two minutes, during which you will breathe 100% oxygen.
In contrast to oral conscious sedation, sedation with laughing gas is the only sedation option where you are able to drive yourself home after your dental procedure. It is our most popular type of sedation because you are able to resume normal activities immediately following your appointment. We are confident that once you experience the benefits of laughing gas sedation, you will no longer dread going to the dentist.
Laughing gas is available to all of our patients, whether they require a small dental filling or desire a complete smile makeover. Anxiety-free dentistry can help you overcome your dental fears in the most comfortable way possible. As part of our “pain-free guarantee,” our dentists are committed to only perform dental work if the patient is completely numb. Regardless of which type of sedation option you choose, you will be gently numbed with a local anesthetic in the area of the mouth where your dentist is working. The local anesthetic in combination with one of our dental sedation options is an effective way to manage your dental anxiety and guarantee a pain-free dental experience. [/su_expand]
