Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is a mild sedative used in dentistry to help patients relax during procedures. Dr. Anne Casson, our skilled dentist at Littleton Family Dental, employs nitrous oxide as a safe and effective method to alleviate anxiety and enhance patient comfort.

How Nitrous Oxide Works

Administered through a small mask placed over the nose, nitrous oxide is a colorless and odorless gas that induces a relaxed state without rendering patients’ unconscious. It is carefully monitored by our team to ensure the right dosage for each individual.

Benefits of Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide offers a gentle and calming effect, making it an ideal solution for patients with mild to moderate anxiety about dental procedures. It takes effect quickly and wears off equally rapidly, allowing patients to resume normal activities soon after treatment.

Applicability to Various Procedures

Nitrous oxide is versatile and suitable for a wide range of dental procedures, from routine cleanings to more complex treatments like fillings or extractions. We will discuss whether nitrous oxide is a suitable option based on your medical history and the nature of the dental work.

Patient Experience and Comfort

Patients often appreciate nitrous oxide for its ability to create a sense of calmness and relaxation during their dental visit. It can turn what might be perceived as a stressful experience into a more manageable and even pleasant one.
