Nitrous Oxide Sedation in Springfield, MO
Nitrous oxide sedation, commonly known as laughing gas, is a safe and widely used method to help patients feel relaxed during dental procedures. It’s inhaled through a small mask and takes effect quickly. You remain awake and responsive while feeling calm and at ease. The effects wear off rapidly after treatment, allowing you to resume your day with minimal disruption.

Prepare for Your Procedure
To ensure the safest and most effective experience with nitrous oxide sedation, please follow these guidelines before your appointment. Avoid eating a large meal for at least two hours before your visit, as this reduces the chance of nausea. Inform your dentist of any medications you are taking, including over-the-counter supplements, and disclose any recent respiratory illnesses or changes in your health. Wear comfortable clothing and arrive with any necessary paperwork completed in advance if possible. Most patients can drive themselves home.
Our team is here to help you feel confident and well-prepared if you have questions or concerns before your visit.
