Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as laughing gas, is an anesthetic that reduces potential discomfort during dental procedures and treatments. Nitrous oxide is a highly effective anesthetic provided through a mask. A specialized oxygen mixture is provided to the patient, resulting in a tingling sensation that numbs the senses. The patient becomes slightly lightheaded yet can communicate with the dentist during the procedure.

Nitrous oxide makes potentially uncomfortable dental procedures completely painless. If you are nervous about a dental procedure or fear going to the dentist, give us a call at (615) 662-2191 to find out more about nitrous oxide and schedule an appointment. Laughing gas is perfectly safe when administered by our dentist. We will ensure you are safe and capable of moving without assistance after the procedure ends. In most instances, the effects of laughing gas last a couple minutes after the mask is removed. Give nitrous oxide a try and you will finally feel comfortable at the dentist’s office, whether you need a non-invasive procedure, a significant surgery, a complex treatment or a dental restoration.
