Nitrous Oxide

This form of Conscious Sedation offered at Weyburn Dental Associates helps to ease anxiety and enhance procedural comfort.

The Advantage of Using Nitrous Oxide

The advantage of using nitrous oxide includes the following:

The simplicity for the adjustment for the depth of sedation which can be altered at any time during treatment to increase or decrease sedation.
There is no after effect such as a “hangover”.
Inhalation sedation is safe with no side effects on your heart and lungs, etc. The biotransformation for nitrous oxide is only about 0.04%.
Inhalation sedation is very effective in minimizing gagging.
It works rapidly as it reaches the brain within 20 seconds. In as little as 2-3 minutes its relaxation and pain killing properties develop.
Reversal of nitrous oxide sedation will be provided by administration of 100% oxygen for about 5 minutes at the end of treatment.
Nitrous Oxide has been a means of sedation in dentistry for many years. Nitrous oxide is safe, the patient receives up to 70% nitrous with no less than 30% oxygen. It has been used by millions of patients around the world for dental and medical sedation.
