Enjoy A More Pleasant Dental Visit With Nitrous Oxide

At Dresher Family Dental Care in Dresher, we understand that some patients may feel overwhelmed with fear and anxiety during dental treatments. We’re proud to offer nitrous oxide to help patients feel more comfortable during their visit.

What can you expect when receiving nitrous oxide?

Nitrous oxide is an effective tool that helps relax the patient while allowing them to remain conscious throughout their procedure. It enters the bloodstream through the lungs and acts as a sedative. You may feel a sense of relaxation and well-being when receiving nitrous oxide. You will remain conscious throughout the procedure, but your body may become less sensitive to discomfort depending on the level of nitrous oxide administered.

Is nitrous oxide safe?

At Dresher Family Dental Care, we take safety measures very seriously. All of our staff members that administer nitrous oxide are trained and highly skilled in the procedure, so you can rest assured knowing you are in safe hands. It’s always mixed with at least 30% oxygen when administered, and the patient is continuously monitored during the procedure. Since the effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly once the administration is stopped, there is no need to worry about long-term effects.

Who should consider using nitrous oxide during dental treatments?

Nitrous oxide is a great option for anyone, regardless of age or gender, who experiences extreme anxiety while receiving treatment or those with sensitive gag reflexes. Nitrous oxide is safe enough for even the youngest patients with no ill side effects or allergic reactions.

At Dresher Family Dental Care, we understand that dental treatments can be overwhelming and intimidating. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide to help make your visit as comfortable as possible. Contact us today to learn how nitrous oxide can help you during your next dental appointment!
