Give Your Smile The Care It Needs With Nitrous Oxide Sedation

At Colborne Dental in Orillia, ON, we know that even the thought of dental visits can cause fear and/or anxiety in many patients. That’s why we’re proud to provide nitrous oxide sedation (also known as laughing gas) to help ensure that you can calmly and comfortably receive the services you need to protect and optimize your smile!

What Is Nitrous Oxide?

A colourless, odourless gas that’s breathed in through a small mask placed over your nose, nitrous oxide creates a calming state of relaxation that reduces sensations of discomfort.

What Benefits Does Nitrous Oxide Provide?

1. Reduced Anxiety:Patients who feel nervous about dental visits often find that nitrous oxide helps them relax, making it easier for them to receive the care they need.
2. Safe and Controlled:Nitrous oxide sedation is administered and monitored by our trained professionals, so it’s a safe and tailored experience.
3. Quick Recovery:Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, so you can get back to your regular schedule following your visit.

Is Everyone a Candidate for Nitrous Oxide Sedation?

Nitrous oxide sedation can be a great option for patients of all ages, including:

• Those with dental anxiety or phobia.
• Patients with a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth.
• Those who need to undergo a long or complex procedure.
• Patients of all ages who have difficulty sitting still during appointments.

While nitrous oxide is safe for many people, it may not be right for patients with certain respiratory conditions or those in the first trimester of pregnancy. If you’re interested in using it during an appointment, let us know! We’ll thoroughly assess your medical history and let you know if this type of sedation is right for you.
