Nitrous oxide is an invisible, scentless gas that is delivered into the body through a mask that covers the nose. It takes effect within a few minutes, creating a sense of relaxation and reducing any anxiety or nervousness. Patients often describe the sensation as light, calming, and slightly euphoric.

The sedative effects of the gas wear off quickly once the procedure is complete. Our dentist administers pure oxygen for a few minutes to flush out any remaining sediments of the gas from your system, allowing you to return to your normal activities without lingering drowsiness. This quick recovery time makes it a convenient option for many patients.
