Feel at Ease With Nitrous Sedation

Dental anxiety is common, but it should never keep you from receiving the care you deserve. At Luxe Dental Arts, we offer nitrous oxide—often called “laughing gas”—to help you feel calm, comfortable, and at ease throughout your visit. This gentle form of sedation is ideal for patients who experience fear, anxiety, or a sensitive gag reflex, making it easier to undergo necessary treatments without stress or discomfort. With nitrous oxide, even routine procedures can feel more manageable and relaxed.

How Nitrous Oxide Sedation Works

Nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless gas delivered through a small mask placed over your nose. It begins working within minutes, helping you feel calm and relaxed while you stay fully awake and aware. Many patients notice a light, floaty feeling, while others may experience mild tingling or a brief sense of light-headedness.

Benefits of Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide offers several advantages, including:
  • Customizable sedation levels to match your comfort needs
  • No lasting drowsiness once treatment is complete
  • Safe for most patients, with no effect on heart or lung function
  • Helps minimize a sensitive gag reflex during procedures
  • Fast-acting, providing relaxation within minutes

Quick Recovery With Little to No Downtime

Once the mask is removed, the effects fade quickly—usually within about 30 minutes. Most patients are able to drive themselves and resume normal activities the same day. Nitrous oxide sedation is a safe and gentle option for both routine visits and more involved dental procedures.
