Nitrous Oxide Sedation: "Laughing Gas"

There’s no reason to fear going to the dentist! Nitrous oxide sedation dentistry provides safe, comfortable dental treatment for patients with high anxiety, children, or patients with special needs.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is simply a gas that you can breathe in. It has no color or smell, and it doesn’t irritate. The equipment used for delivering “happy gas” is quite simple. It consists of a supply of compressed gases and an apparatus that delivers the gases to the client. By turning some knobs and flipping on/off switches, the administrator can produce the desired mix of N2O-O2 in the chosen quantities. Flowmeters and pressure gauges allow the administrator to keep an eye on the flow of gases.

Patients are awake through the procedure and able to understand and respond and there is no “hangover” effect – the gas is eliminated from the body within three to five minutes after the gas supply is stopped. You can safely drive without an escort.

You can benefit from sedation dentistry if you experience one or more of the following:

  • High fear of dental care
  • Complex dental problems
  • Traumatic dental experiences
  • Fear of needles and shots
  • Sensitive teeth

I’ve said this before many time and my thoughts still are still valid! I’ve been a patient at Ackley Group since the late 1990’s (except for a gap of a few yrs living in the NC mountains), I returned to Ackley after moving back to the Tampa area. I feel comfortable resuming to my dentist needs at Ackley.they have a top notch staff from the welcoming desk personnel to the hygienists and dentists.thank you for your great continuing service.

Ackley Dental always makes my wife and I feel like family whenever we visit. We went in for our 6 month cleaning and were greeted warmly by the entire staff. The doctor was great as well and were so appreciative to have Ackley in our neighborhood.
