How Is Nitrous Oxide Used for Dental Treatments?
Nitrous oxide has been used as a dental sedative for more than a century and is trusted as a low-risk treatment for both adults and children. Before nitrous oxide gas is used, Dr. Baum will go through your medical history, current medications, and concerns to be sure that N2O is indeed a fit for you. N2O sedation may be used for advanced or easy procedures paired with local anesthesia to help decrease your pain. This option can also be used for fear or anxieties about dental work that prevent you from keeping your regular dental appointments. Nitrous oxide gas may not be suitable if you have difficulty breathing through your nose, extreme phobias, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other similar conditions.
