Laughing Gas: Solving Dental Anxiety Since 1772

Laughing Gas: Solving Dental Anxiety Since 1772

If you’re very anxious about visiting the dentist, you’re not alone! Research suggests one out of every five Americans possesses the same apprehension. We understand past experiences can leave you fearful. If you avoid going to the dentist as a result of your anxiety, you’re placing yourself at greater risk for gum disease, cavities, and many other issues we can spot at a periodic visit. One option that can help reduce that anxiety and make your visit a pleasant one is…

Nitrous Oxide or “laughing gas”

Nitrous Oxide is a colorless and nearly odorless gas used in dentistry to reduce anxiety, pain and gagging during procedures. It is delivered via tubing connected to a small “mask” that is placed over your nose, and offers varying degrees of sedation that range from mild tingling and euphoria to drowsiness.

You’ve likely heard of nitrous oxide before, and perhaps even benefited from it in the past if you’ve had your wisdom teeth removed … after all, it has been a fixture in dentistry since its discovery in 1772! Most people don’t realize that it can be used for all types of procedures – even cleanings – given the degrees of flexible sedation it provides.

Eliminate your fear of the dentist once and for all, and ask us about nitrous oxide treatment at your next visit. Call us at 201-871-4505 or send us a message to schedule an appointment if you’ve been hiding from us for a while!
