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
I had an excellent visit with Radiant Smiles from start to finish. The entire staff was friendly and very welcoming. Truly professional team that did everything to ensure that my visit went well. I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!!
We originally assigned this office to be our daughters primary dental care facility. After the first visit both my parnter & I switched to make this our primary dentistry! My mom switched as well & has scheduled her appt for crown replacement this month. We genuinely appreciate the atmosphere from entry upon exiting Radiant Smiles. Dr. Raynald L. Desameau has always educated us whenever we expressed uncertainty about something regarding our dental care. He is highly educated in his field and has a supportive team whom are kind to us each visit! I love & appreciate the consistency!
Came in for a toothache and left feeling 1000 better. Felt welcome the moment I walked in the door. The staff is amazing!! Definitely going to be my go to dentist office.

This is honestly the most warm and welcoming dentist office, medical office I've ever been to. If you're like me with an extreme fear of dentists then the absolutely wonderful team at radiant smiles is the best place to visit. There's not enough stars or thanks I could give to them!
This was my first appointment. Everyone was very nice and pleasant to talk with. Only had xrays and evaluation, but I was very comfortable there. Cleaning is next appointment.
