Nitrous Oxide Sedation (Laughing Gas) in North Grosvenor Dale

Nitrous Oxide Sedation in North Grosvenor Dale

If you experience mild anxiety during dental visits or want a little help relaxing in the chair, nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) may be the right choice for you. At Thompson Smiles, we offer this safe, fast-acting option to help make your visits more comfortable and stress-free.

Gentle Relaxation, Quick Recovery

Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that’s inhaled through a small nose mask during your appointment. It helps calm your nerves and creates a feeling of lightness or ease while you remain fully awake and responsive throughout the procedure.

Once your treatment is complete, the effects wear off within minutes after the mask is removed, and most patients can resume normal activities right away, even drive themselves home.

What You Can Expect

With this sedation option, you can experience a more relaxed visit without disruption to your day. Here’s what you can expect with nitrous oxide sedation:

Quick onset and rapid recovery
A calm, relaxed sensation during care
The ability to stay fully awake and communicative
A safe solution for children and adults
The option to pair with local anesthetic for pain-free treatment

Your Comfort Is Our Priority

Nitrous oxide is ideal for patients who want a little extra help feeling at ease, especially during routine treatments. You can count on our team to help you select the sedation option that is right for you so you can maximize your comfort.
