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
The team at Radiant Smiles is awesome. Every time I go I have a wonderful experience with the hygienist(s) and Dr. Desameau.
I hate going to the dentist with everything in me! However I love this place and the main dentist is amazing. I’ve had to get fill ins, lots of them over the years and have been to a few places. This dentist did a great job doing them! I will actually go to the dentist now when I need to instead of putting it off forever.
Such an amazing office!! My daughter & I always have a wonderful experience. They’re very sweet and easy going. I’ve been going here the past couple of years and I’ve never had any issues
Today I went there for the first time and the service was so amazing. I’m so satisfied thank you so much!!
The staff was great and personable. The vist was quick and smooth. By far one of the best dentist in Charlotte
Each time I or my family goes to see Dr. D and his staff we are treated so much like family. They are very personable and Dr. D is very informative!!! I love this practice, it's definitely the BEST dental office I've ever been a patient of 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Such a great team! So glad I chose this as my permanent dental office 😊
I have been going to Radiant Smile for 3 years and have never had to wait a single time for my appointment to begin. I even showed up an hour early and they took me an hour early. I’ve called for emergencies and they took me the same day more than once. I’ve had so many bad experiences with other dentists that I began dreading going to dentists. I LOVE the staff at radiant. They are always singing and happy. Trust me, if you want the woman or man of your dreams, stop wishing on a shooting star, and begin visiting Dr. D! My new smile more of a panty dropper than a Ferrari!
Love this dentistry! Heather cleaned my teeth and she took her time with it and was gentle. I really enjoyed talking with her too, she is SO sweet. Thank you all for being so kind and genuine, and understanding my concerns when I got there. Finally, I found a new dentistry! It's small business, so I really felt taken care of today.
Love this dentist office and the staff! You can tell that each of them, including the dentist, truly care about the integrity and health of your teeth and really listen to any concerns you have.
