What is Nitrous Sedation?
For those unfamiliar, nitrous sedation, often called "laughing gas", is a safe and reliable method to ensure patients remain calm and relaxed throughout their dental procedures. Ideal for both adults and children, it's a go-to choice for many who may feel apprehensive or just wish for a more serene dental experience. The easy administration and quick dissipation of effects post-procedure have made it a popular choice across all dental procedures, whether it's crowns, dentures, or more.
How Does Nitrous Sedation Work?
Nitrous oxide is administered via a small mask that fits comfortably over your nose. As you breathe in the sweet-scented gas, you'll begin to feel a wave of relaxation wash over you. Rest assured, while you'll feel at ease, you remain conscious and can communicate with Dr. Lanzon, Dr. Rivera, and our dental team throughout the procedure.
Is Nitrous Safe for Adults as Well as Children?
Absolutely! Nitrous sedation has a long-standing record of safety across age groups. Before recommending it, our experts, Dr. Lanzon and Dr. Rivera, review each patient's medical history, ensuring it's the right fit for you. So, whether you're an adult, a teenager, or looking out for your child's comfort, nitrous sedation can be a viable and safe option.
What Are the Benefits of Using Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
Beyond its primary function of calming nerves, nitrous sedation can also make lengthy procedures feel shorter. It can aid those who have a hard time sitting still or find dental procedures overwhelming. The biggest benefit? Leaving our Camarillo office with a positive experience and possibly even looking forward to your next visit!
Are There Any Special Instructions for Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
While the effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly after the mask is removed, for safety reasons, we advise all patients to arrange transportation post-procedure. It's always better to ensure you're completely alert before heading back into your day.
