We use nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, as a sedative option for patients who need extra help staying relaxed during their treatment. Laughing gas is inhaled through a mask placed over the nose. The effects wear off quickly after your procedure, so you’ll be able to enjoy the rest of your day as you normally would, and your dental treatment won’t keep you from your other plans.

“Laughing Gas”

The benefits of

Sedation dentistry can benefit many patients and ensure a stress-free visit. If you have an upcoming appointment that involves extensive treatment, laughing gas can minimize pain and keep you safe and calm during your procedure. Patients with dental phobia can also benefit from laughing gas because it gives you a feeling of euphoria.

At Smilefolk, we know that many patients suffer from anxiety and dental phobia, and our goal is to change the way people view appointments with their dentist. Dr. Lee is personable, and uses open communication and her sense of humor to make her patients feel at ease. For patients with high levels of stress or those who are undergoing extensive treatment, we also offer nitrous oxide sedation dentistry as a way to ensure a safe, calm dental procedure.
