Nitrous Oxide

Have you put off getting needed dental work due to anxiety? If so, know that you are not alone and that the team at Bayshore Gardens Family & Cosmetic Dentistry does not judge you. We are pleased to offer several sedation options to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout your procedure, including nitrous oxide in Bradenton, FL.

What is Nitrous Oxide, and How Does It Work?

Nitrous oxide, alternatively known as laughing gas, is a type of inhaled sedation that produces a calming effect without putting you to sleep. You remain coherent enough throughout your procedure to answer questions and respond to your dentist’s requests. The sedative wears off by the end of your appointment, and you are free to drive home without needing another person with you.

To start the sedating process, one of our dental assistants places a mask containing oxygen and nitrous oxide over your nose. Each time you inhale, you breathe in the laughing gas until you no longer feel any anxiety. Each member of our team has received extensive training on nitrous oxide, so you never have to worry about receiving too much or too little.

You can request nitrous oxide for any procedure

Whether you need a routine cleaning or a major procedure, such as a tooth extraction, please ask for nitrous oxide in Bradenton, FL, when scheduling your appointment. We are happy to accommodate your request.
