What Is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
We all know that regular visits to the dentist are crucial when it comes to maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile, but it's not always so easy for patients. If you find yourself ignoring pain or putting off regular dental appointments out of fear or anxiety, you might be interested in learning about nitrous oxide sedation offered at Suite 905 in New York, NY. Commonly known as "laughing gas" or N2O, nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation used during dental treatments to help patients relax. N2O takes effect quickly and wears off within a few minutes after treatment, making it a fantastic option for individuals looking for light sedation without feeling groggy for hours afterward. If you struggle with dental anxiety, have a strong gag reflex, or have difficulty sitting still during long procedures, we invite you to ask our team if you might be a good candidate for nitrous oxide sedation. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Svetlana Orit Faradjewa or Dr. Sheila Faradjewa to learn how our approach can help you get the quality dental care you need without unnecessary stress or anxiety.
How Does Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation Work?
We'll start with a discussion of your medical history to determine if nitrous oxide sedation is a good choice for you. While nitrous oxide is safe for most patients, it's generally not recommended for individuals with chronic respiratory conditions, certain vitamin deficiencies, or pregnant women. Before starting your procedure, we'll place a small mask (or hood) over your nose and wait for the effects to take hold as you breathe it in. Within a few minutes, you should start to feel relaxed, warm, and euphoric. Throughout your procedure, we'll continue monitoring your reaction and adjust your sedation levels as needed. Once the procedure is done, it should only take a few minutes for you to start feeling clearheaded again.
