Laughing gas is a form of conscious sedation that is administered as a gas through a mask. It's a safe and effective way to help you relax during your dental treatment. The gas is always carefully controlled by an experienced technician, so you can rest assured that you're in good hands.
One of the great things about laughing gas is that it allows you to remain conscious during the procedure while still feeling relaxed and comfortable. You'll be able to communicate with your dentist and respond to instructions, but you'll feel less anxious and more at ease. In fact, many patients report feeling pleasantly giddy or euphoric while under the effects of laughing gas - hence the nickname!
Another benefit of laughing gas is that it can cause short-term memory loss, which means you may not remember the details of the procedure afterward. This can be a great relief for patients who are worried about the sights, sounds, or sensations of dental treatment.
