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.

I had an exceptional experience at Salisbury Family Dentistry. This was my first visit and it was complete professional and efficient. Everyone was very friendly. I am so glad that I found it.
Very friendly staff, super helpful, prompt service!
Great office Great service Great people
Again these guys are the bomb.com From the receptionist to the dentist. I mean everyone including Shannon....lol.....is the best. Can't wait for
The dentist and his assistant were fantastic. The procedure was painless and quick. However, I had a VERY difficult time making an emergency appointment. The employee didn’t seem to understand toothache and pain. She proceeded to tell me that they had NO open emergency appointments. She went on to tell me that they were short of help due to snowy conditions and how they would only be working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and they are closed on Fridays. She was eluding to me waiting a week to even call back for an appointment. She said IF they had a cancellation that she would call me. I was looking up other dentists when I decided to call her back and let her know that I was skeptical of the information she was giving me. Miraculously, she had a cancellation and I was able to go in. She is not at all friendly and came in the the procedure room to inform me that I would owe $160.00. I said fine. When I checked out it was an $80.00 charge. The dentist need to be aware of her reluctance to help their clients. They need to be aware that she does everything to keep the clients away including quoting the wrong fees.
The staff provided amazing, professional and courteous services. All of the staff that I came in contact with was very polite. Thank you for making my dental visit so pleasant 😁
