Sedation Dentistry Townsville - Friendly Dentist - Dental Precinct

Nitrous oxide, sometimes called “laughing gas,” is one option Dr Olivia or Dr Vik may offer to help make you more comfortable during certain procedures. It is not intended to put you to sleep. You will be able to hear and respond to any requests or directions our team may have. Ultimately, you should feel calm and comfortable. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off soon after the mask is removed.Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask that fits over your nose to help you relax. You will literally be laughing during your stressful dental appointment.
