NERVOUS ABOUT TREATMENT?
We understand that coming to the dentist can create levels of anxiety. To ensure your comfort during treatment, nitrous oxide (laugh gas) is available during most treatment procedures. Nitrous oxide is a safe, harmless gas used to reduce levels of anxiety and to increase comfort. The nitrous gas is mixed with levels of oxygen and is inhaled through a mask that fits comfortable over your nose.
At the end of the appointment, the gas is completely removed from your system allowing you to drive home safely without an escort.
