Comfort options · Vista, CA
If dental visits
make you anxious.
You’re not the only one. Sedation can help many patients feel more relaxed during dental treatment.
Why patients ask about sedation
Dental anxiety is common, and so is wanting a visit to feel easier. Nitrous oxide—often called laughing gas—is one option we can discuss to help patients feel calmer during treatment.
How nitrous oxide works
You breathe the gas through a small mask; it helps many patients feel relaxed, and its effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed. Your dentist will review your health history to confirm it’s appropriate for you.
