For patients who feel anxious about dental procedures, SunRidge Oral Surgery in Yakima, WA, offers Nitrous Oxide, also known as “laughing gas.” This mild sedative allows you to remain relaxed, calm, and comfortable throughout your treatment while staying fully conscious. Nitrous Oxide is an ideal choice for patients of all ages seeking a gentle way to manage dental anxiety.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous Oxide is a safe, fast-acting gas that helps patients feel at ease almost immediately. The sedative is inhaled through a small mask, and its effects are felt within minutes, helping to ease any tension and create a pleasant, anxiety-free experience. Once the treatment is complete, the gas wears off quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities shortly after your procedure.
Key Benefits of Nitrous Oxide
- Immediate Relaxation: Provides quick relief from anxiety and helps you feel calm during the procedure.
- Rapid Recovery: Effects diminish shortly after treatment, so there’s no downtime, and you can drive yourself home.
- Low Side Effects: Nitrous Oxide is well-tolerated and has a long-standing safety record, making it suitable for both adults and children.
