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.

Great experience. Staff was kind and understanding. Took care of an emergency situation! Would highly recommend. Thank you!
I love coming here! I always feel so comfortable!
Love this establishment! I have anxiety when it comes to dental visits but my experience here has changed my perspective on dental health. My first visit was amazing. The front desk staff was welcoming and friendly. When I went back to get a wisdom tooth removed, Morgan was the greatest support system I’ve had during any medical procedure. Dr. Desameau was kind and compassionate at each visit. He exceeding my expectations. I’m actually looking forward to visiting the dentist now, which speaks volumes to the staff and care given here. Special thanks to Morgan, she deserves her flowers. Thank you Radiant Smiles. I’ll be back soon!
My kids have been coming to RS for some years now, my wife and I had our first appointments today, and they did not disappoint! Terry (or Terri) hands down did most thorough cleaning I have EVER had, the office staff was courteous, professional, and discreet. A great experience and a new customer locked in!!!!
I love this office! Dr. D and his staff are phenomenal and so nice. He came in and gave me my options and actually listened. They are tucked away in Pineville but definitely worth the visit!
OMG! The ABSOLUTE BEST experience I have EVER had in a dental office. The office staff are delightful and welcoming. Tanya and Morgan are the absolute sweetest. No judgement only positivity. Everyone took their time to answer all of my questions and concerns. I have never felt so calm and reassured. The topping was meeting Dr. D! So sweet and gentle. They took such great care of me. Wish I had found them sooner. I am a patient for life!
