Once inhaled, Nitrous Oxide induces a state of mild relaxation and reduces sensitivity to pain. It is safe for virtually every patient, regardless of age, which makes it a great first step for anyone who feels a little nervous in the dental chair.
Following your treatment, oxygen is used to neutralize the effects of the nitrous oxide. Once this is complete, you will be fully alert with no lingering aftereffects — unlike deeper forms of sedation, you will not need anyone to drive you home.
Your sedation is closely monitored by experienced dental professionals the entire time, so you can simply relax while we take care of the rest. To learn whether Nitrous Sedation is right for you, contact Texoma Dentures & Implants.
