The Comfort Quotient
Nitrous Oxide Gas
You may have heard this called "Laughing Gas," because it gives the patient a euphoric or comfortable feeling. We have found it to be of great value during dental procedures in removing fear and apprehension. It is very safe and side effects are extremely rare. When restorative procedures are being done on primary teeth in children, the gas usually eliminates the need for an injection.
Conscious Sedation
Taking a small pill under careful supervision in our office can virtually guarantee you an extremely comfortable, relaxed dental procedure. If your fear and/or anxiety levels have kept you from having needed or wanted dental care, ask us about this wonderful adjunct to our services.
