Enjoy A More Relaxed Dental Visit With Laughing Gas
Dental anxiety is a common concern that prevents many individuals from receiving necessary dental care. North Tampa Family Dental in Tampa is proud to offer laughing gas sedation, commonly known as laughing gas, to help our patients relax during dental procedures.
How is laughing gas administered?
Laughing Gas is a colorless gas mixed with oxygen that is inhaled through a small mask placed over the patient’s nose. When inhaled, it induces relaxation and euphoria, relieving anxiety and discomfort. The gas quickly takes effect and wears off just as rapidly, allowing patients to resume their daily activities after the procedure without any lingering effects.
What are the benefits of Laughing Gas?
Laughing Gas sedation is often used for patients with dental phobia or anxiety. It creates a calming effect, making the dental experience more pleasant and less intimidating. While laughing gas is not a painkiller, it can significantly reduce pain perception, making dental procedures more tolerable, especially for individuals with low pain thresholds.
It takes effect within minutes and allows for efficient treatment and prompt recovery, eliminating the need for a designated driver or an extended recovery period. Laughing Gas sedation can be easily adjusted to suit the patient’s needs and ensure their comfort and relaxation.
Who is a good candidate for Laughing Gas?
Laughing Gas suits most patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or a low pain threshold. It is especially beneficial for individuals who require lengthy or complex procedures.
