What Happens During Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Initial Review
Your dentist will review your medical history, treatment plan, and comfort level to ensure nitrous oxide sedation is appropriate for your visit.
Gentle Sedation Start
A small nasal mask is placed comfortably over your nose, delivering a carefully controlled mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen to help you relax.
Relaxed Treatment Experience
As the sedation takes effect, you remain awake and responsive while feeling calmer and more at ease throughout your dental procedure.
Recovery and Normal Activity
Once treatment is complete, the nitrous oxide is stopped and oxygen is provided. The effects wear off quickly, allowing most patients to resume normal activities shortly after their visit.
What to Expect at Your Visit
