Relax and Stay Comfortable with Nitrous Sedation

Dental anxiety is common, but it shouldn’t stop you from receiving the care you need. At Luxe Dental Arts, we offer nitrous oxide—commonly called “laughing gas”—to help make your dental visits calm, comfortable, and stress-free. This sedation is particularly helpful for patients with fear, anxiety, or a sensitive gag reflex, allowing you to undergo necessary treatments without discomfort or worry. With nitrous oxide, even routine procedures become easier and more relaxed.

How Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) Sedation Works

Nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless gas inhaled through a small nose mask. It works quickly—within minutes, you’ll feel relaxed and at ease while staying awake and aware. Many patients experience a light, floating sensation, and some may notice mild tingling or slight light-headedness.

Advantages of Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Advantages of Nitrous Oxide Sedation
  • Customizable sedation levels to suit your comfort
  • No residual drowsiness after your appointment
  • Safe for most patients, with no effect on heart or lung function
  • Reduces gag reflex during dental procedures
  • Works quickly, with relaxation felt within minutes

Quick Recovery with Minimal Downtime

Once the mask is removed, the effects of nitrous oxide wear off rapidly—usually within 30 minutes. Most patients can drive themselves or return to work the same day. Nitrous sedation is safe, gentle, and ideal for both routine and more complex dental procedures.
