Inhaled conscious sedation - Laughing gas

Do you feel nervous or anxious about dental treatment? At Stamford Green Dental, we offer Inhaled Conscious Sedation, also known as Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide), to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout your dental visit. This safe, fast-acting sedation option is ideal for patients of all ages, including children and adults with dental anxiety.


What Is Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide) Sedation?

Laughing gas is a mild sedative that is inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. It induces a sense of relaxation and reduces stress while allowing you to stay awake and responsive during your procedure. The effects wear off quickly after treatment, so you can resume your day without lingering drowsiness.
