Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective way to help you feel calm during dental treatment. You inhale the gas through a small mask, allowing anxiety to fade while remaining fully awake. The effects begin quickly and wear off just minutes after treatment, letting you resume your normal routine with ease.
