Sedation Dentistry & Your Comfort
Nitrous Oxide
Many people know nitrous oxide as laughing gas. In our Wichita dental office, we administer nitrous oxide to enhance patient comfort and relieve anxiety for patients of all ages. After you're comfortably seated in the dental chair, you'll inhale the gas (a nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture) through a face mask. We will control the amount of nitrous you receive to ensure your safety. You will begin to relax and will not recognize pain, so Dr. Nordhus can perform your dental work while you stay completely comfortable. The effects of nitrous oxide subside once we remove your mast, so if nitrous is the only anesthesia you receive, you will be capable of driving yourslef home following the visit and can continue your daily activities as normal.
