Relaxing Sedation Dentistry

At Town Dentistry, we offer Sedation Dentistry options for patients who may be anxious, nervous, or uncomfortable in the dentist's office. Sedation can also decrease pain by increasing anesthetic effectiveness and decreasing tooth sensitivity.

Inhalation Sedation “Laughing Gas”

Are you nervous about going to the dentist? You don’t need to be nervous about coming to our practice. We offer dental sedation to help our patients relax.

Inhalation Sedation Dentistry

Also known as laughing gas, Nitrous is beneficial in calming a patient’s anxiety before a procedure. It is a sweet-smelling, non-irritating, colorless gas that is breathable.

It is used primarily for its anesthetic and analgesic properties. It is a safe and effective gas that is inhaled by the patient. It is the most commonly used sedation technique in dentistry.

There are many advantages to using Nitrous

• The depth of sedation can be altered at any time to increase or decrease sedation.
• There is no after effect, such as a “hangover”.
• Inhalation sedation is safe with no side effects on your heart and lungs, etc.
• Inhalation sedation is very effective in minimizing gagging.
• It works rapidly as it reaches the brain within 20 seconds. In as little as 2-3 minutes, its relaxation and pain-killing properties develop.
• You can drive yourself home after your appointment!
