NITROUS OXIDE (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide is a sedating gas that is combined with oxygen to

make patients feel more comfortable during dental care. A small

rubber inhaler is placed over the patient's nose and adjusted so that

the patient can breathe through it. With Nitrous Oxide, most patients

experience an initial feeling of lightheadedness, which gradually

leads to an overall feeling of wellbeing.

The advantages of inhalation sedation are its rapid onset, lack of

lingering effects, the ability of the patient to engage in conversation

while under its influence.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Nitrous oxide anesthetic gas is a chemical

known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Consult your dentist to determine which material

appropriate for your treatment.
