Definition: 1. Nitrous oxide (N2O) sedative. 2. Also known as "laughing gas".
If you are anxious or nervous about dental work, then relaxing gas is for you. It is calming and relaxing. We can usually deliver local anesthetic (give a "shot") without the patient realizing while breathing relaxing gas.
Relaxing gas is particularly safe and effective for children. It can be used alone or in conjunction with a local anesthetic.
There is no charge for relaxing gas and it is available for your use at any dental or professional cleaning appointment.
