Twilight Sedation with Nitrous Oxide
Commonly referred to as laughing gas, nitrous oxide promotes a deep sense of relaxation and calmness. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off within minutes of discontinuation and allow the patient to recover quickly. Unlike IV sedation, patients can typically drive themselves home from their appointment, eliminating the need to have a friend or family member accompany them. A mixture of nitrous oxide with a prescribed sedative is one of the best ways to help patients who suffer from extreme dental anxiety.
