Nitrous Oxide For Dental Sedation
At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we want your visit to be a pleasant one. For many patients, dental fears or anxieties keep them from visiting the dentist regularly. Sedation dentistry helps patients undergo dental work and keep their mouths healthy without anxiety. We offer nitrous oxide in our Pineville, NC dental office.
Also called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is used to create a calm, relaxed experience. In dentistry, it is often used to help patients who feel anxious or have trouble sitting still. It takes effect immediately and the patient remains awake throughout the treatment.
Uses Of Nitrous Sedation In Dentistry
Laughing gas can be used with patients of all ages to ensure a better dental experience. At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, nitrous sedation may be recommended for the following reasons:
- Easing dental fears – Dental anxieties are common and can keep people from visiting the dentist. To ensure you have a good experience, dental sedation can take the edge off your anxiety. The medication can help you stay calm, yet awake, so you do not notice pain or fear during your treatment.
- Helping young children sit still – Young children often have trouble staying still for dental appointments. When necessary for treatments such as dental fillings, nitrous oxide can help relax children and ease fidgeting.
- Treating patients who need significant work – Even adults have trouble sitting for long periods of time. When a treatment or procedure may take a significant period of time, laughing gas may be recommended to minimize excess movement
Safe Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide is a very safe option for sedation dentistry. The patient’s medical history is thoroughly reviewed to ensure there are no allergies or diseases that could cause adverse reactions. If used, the medication is closely monitored and controlled by the dental team throughout the procedure.
Nitrous oxide takes effect immediately. It does not cause drowsiness so the patient remains awake and can communicate with the dentist. The patient breathes in a combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a mask.
Once the treatment is over, the medication is stopped and the effects cease immediately without any lasting effects. As the medication is turned off, the patient breathes in only oxygen to clear the lungs. Since there are no side effects or lingering reactions, patients can drive themselves home and resume normal activities after the appointment.

Reviews
Dr. Desameau and his team at Radiant Smiles are fantastic! Their superior customer service, knowledge and expertise have prompted me to share my experience with others. When looking for a dentist to perform a root canal, I was extremely skeptical and hesitant, having had a few bad experiences with other dentists prior to visiting Radiant Smiles. After an initial evaluation, Dr. Desameau took the time to explain what was happening with my teeth, what needed to be performed in order to solve the problem, and then explained that all of the surgery could be done on the premises, without having to go to an additional surgeon for the root canal. Dr. Desameau's patience while answering all of my questions and concerns was priceless. He set my mind at ease so that I had no questions on the day of my root canal appointment. My biggest fear was that I would experience pain from the surgery, as I had heard horror stories from others who had gotten a root canal. During the procedure, I was bracing myself, waiting for a jolt of pain to hit me, but it never came. Amazingly, Dr. Desameau performed the entire root canal without causing any pain in my teeth! I've since been back to the office twice for a scheduled cleaning and Heather has been terrific to work with. She is sensitive to patient's concerns and extremely patient. Again, there was no pain involved in either of these visits as well. I never thought that I would find a dentist as remarkable as Dr. Desameau, nor be writing a review about my own dental experience, but am so excited that I had to let others know as well. If you're looking for the best dentist in Charlotte, I would highly recommend Radiant Smiles. If the fear of pain during dental procedures is a concern, then Dr. Desameau and his team are the perfect fit for providing unsurpassed, premier dentistry without the pain that is often associated with dental visits.
I loved my first visit here today! Everyone was very friendly and my Dentist was very clear about the upcoming procedures that I will need to get done. I will definitely return.
