Commonly known as “happy gas,” nitrous oxide has been safely used in dentistry for more than 100 years and is trusted worldwide to help reduce feelings of anxiety, fear and nervousness during treatment.
It is an ideal option for children, first-time patients, or anyone who may feel uneasy about visiting the dentist.
The sedation works quickly, taking effect within just two to three minutes.
Patients simply breathe through a small mask placed over the nose, allowing them to feel calm, relaxed and more at ease throughout their appointment.
One of the biggest benefits of nitrous oxide is that patients remain awake, aware and fully in control the entire time, while still feeling comfortable during treatment.
Unlike other forms of sedation, the effects wear off within minutes after the procedure is completed, allowing most patients to return to their normal daily activities shortly afterwards.
The team at Goulburn Valley Dental Group is committed to creating a positive and stress-free experience for every patient and understands that dental anxiety can often prevent people from seeking the treatment they need.
With nitrous oxide sedation now available for both adults and children, patients can feel more confident knowing there is a safe and effective option to help make dental care a more comfortable experience.
