At our Wellspring Dental clinics in Pembroke and Deep River, our dental team offers nitrous oxide to help our patients stay comfortable during long procedures and help anxious patients stay calm.
What is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation describes various techniques for making our patients more comfortable during dental procedures. Our dentists are able to help determine if dental sedation option is right for you.
On top of offering dental sedation, all of our dentists are also happy to work at your pace, take breaks when you require them and provide you with calm reassurance.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is inhaled through the nose. This medication calms patients while they remain awake and are still able to communicate. It also tends to lessen anxiety, reduce gag reflexes, make time pass more quickly and raise a patient's pain threshold.
