Nitrous oxide is a safe and commonly used option to help patients feel more relaxed during dental treatment. At Elwell Family Dentistry, it may be offered to patients who experience dental anxiety or discomfort and would benefit from additional relaxation during their visit.
Nitrous oxide is administered through a small nasal mask and allows patients to remain awake, responsive and able to communicate throughout treatment. Its effects wear off quickly after the gas is discontinued, allowing most patients to resume normal activities following their appointment.
Whether nitrous oxide is appropriate for you depends on your health history and the type of treatment being performed. Our dentists will review your needs and answer any questions before recommending its use.
