Nitrous

Nitrous or “Laughing Gas” can be used safely for many patients (including kids) to provide a state of relaxation during dental treatment. The gas is started prior to the local anesthetic injection, and is carefully monitored throughout the procedure by Dr. V, Dr. Megan, and our trained and experienced dental team. Nitrous is delivered with a small mask that covers your nose, and is mixed with oxygen. At the end of your appointment, the nitrous will be tapered off and replaced with pure oxygen, clearing your system and allowing you to feel normal before you leave our office.
