Inhalation Sedation

Inhalation or nitrous oxide sedation, also called laughing gas, is a type of conscious sedation which can be used to help patients relax and reduce anxiety during procedures.

It involves administering a gas mixture containing nitrous oxide and oxygen through a mask or nasal hood. The gas is absorbed through the lungs and enters the bloodstream, eventually reaching the brain. Nitrous oxide, the primary component of the gas mixture, produces a calming and euphoric effect, allowing the patient to experience deep relaxation while remaining fully conscious and responsive. 

The level of sedation can be easily adjusted to suit your needs, ensuring a more relaxing experience. Inhalation sedation has been the primary technique in the management of dental fears and anxiety. It also enhances the effect of local anesthetics thus helping in achieving a profound anesthesia. Patient’s pain threshold increases as well. When administered under proper monitoring and with well-maintained equipment, the technique has an extremely high success rate.

At Edwards Dental, we pride ourselves on making our patients feel relaxed and comfortable while receiving the best quality of service in a professional environment.
