Nitrous Oxide

Laughing Gas

Nitrous oxide treatment, also known as inhalation sedation or relative analgesia, is one of the safest sedation methods that our dentist offers our patients. This “laughing gas” is an effect way for our team at Rico Dental to make sure that our dental procedures proceed without any hiccups. To learn whether you could benefit from receiving nitrous oxide in Elk Grove, California, as part of your dental care, call our office at Rico Dental Center for Advanced Dentistry Phone Number (916) 684-8200 and set up your appointment with Dr. Jorge Rico.

Do you ever feel nervous about visiting the dentist? Does your upcoming treatment make you feel anxious? If so, you may benefit from nitrous oxide sedation at our office. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a gas that you inhale through a nose mask during your treatment. As you breathe in the nitrous oxide, which is mixed with oxygen, you will experience a relaxed, euphoric sensation. Nitrous oxide can help you feel calm and at ease throughout your treatment. Nitrous oxide sedation is very safe; the effects will wear off within just a few minutes after we remove your nose mask, and you can legally and safely drive yourself home after your appointment.

Nitrous oxide is a good option for any of our patients who suffer from dental anxiety or dental phobia. If you feel anxious because you are receiving a treatment you have not experienced before, or if you simply dislike the sounds and sights of the dental office, we may recommend nitrous oxide to help you feel more relaxed. Be certain to discuss your concerns with our dentist and dental team before your visit so we can help you feel more comfortable during your treatment. We invite you to contact us today to learn more!
