What Is Nitrous Oxide?

Laughing gas — or nitrous oxide — is the most widely used and accessible form of dental sedation. It’s delivered through a small, comfortable nose mask and takes effect within minutes.

Unlike other forms of sedation, nitrous oxide requires no needles, no fasting, and no recovery time. Once the mask is removed, the effects clear from your system in minutes — meaning you can drive yourself home, return to work, and carry on with your day.

WHO'S IT FOR?

Laughing Gas Is For Everyone

Laughing Gas sedation is one of the few dental comfort options suitable for virtually every age group. Whether it’s a nervous child, an anxious teen, or an adult who has been putting off treatment for years — laughing gas works.
