This is also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasdentistryforkids.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">nitrous oxide<\/a>, which is a mild and effective form of sedation. If you\u2019re feeling nervous or anxious about undergoing dental treatment, this may be the solution to calm your nerves. However, there are a few things you might want to know before undergoing this process. Keep reading to learn five facts about nitrous oxide ahead of your appointment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: The Sedation Process Is Straightforward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrous oxide is best known for being administered fairly quickly compared to other options. Unlike other types of sedation which require medication or fasting instructions beforehand, you\u2019ll simply receive the gas via a nasal mask when it\u2019s time to undergo your treatment. Once you\u2019re settled in the dentist\u2019s chair, a trained professional will adjust the knobs to begin the flow of nitrous oxide, allowing you to feel deeply relaxed during your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Nitrous Oxide Helps with More Than Your Nerves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While many patients receive this sedation option to help ease any dental-related anxiety, this isn\u2019t the only benefit you can expect. Nitrous oxide can also be recommended to those who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Require extensive dental procedures in a single appointment<\/li><li>Are bothered by the sights and sounds of the dental office<\/li><li>Experience neck, head, or jaw discomfort<\/li><li>Struggle with remaining still while in the treatment chair<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Nitrous Oxide Can Be Easily Adjusted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other sedation options, such as oral conscious sedation, require much more planning due to their timeframe of effectiveness. On the other hand, nitrous oxide is easily adjustable, as your dentist can alter the knob accordingly throughout your treatment. Since they can stop the sedation therapy at any moment, you can be confident that you\u2019ll be safe and sound every step of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: The Effects Will Wear Off Quickly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike oral conscious sedation or IV sedation, you won\u2019t expect to feel groggy or lethargic once your appointment is over. After your dentist removes the nasal mask, you can quickly begin to feel normal again. This means you\u2019ll be able to drive yourself to and from your visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5: Nitrous Oxide Has Been Used for Centuries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It may surprise you to know that nitrous oxide has been used for over 200 years. An English scientist named Joseph Priestly reportedly discovered \u201claughing gas\u201d back in 1793. Over the centuries, it\u2019s been widely known as the safest and most effective form of sedation dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know more about nitrous oxide, you can feel more comfortable about undergoing the process during your dental treatment. Get in touch with your dentist if you wish to learn more today, and they\u2019ll be more than happy to walk you through your sedation options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Anne Lindley earned her dental doctorate from the Texas A&amp;M Baylor College of Dentistry.
