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.

Wonderful place!! Very helpful and friendly!! I brought my son for a second opinion and got all the answers I was looking for. I highly recommend Radiant Smiles!!
I recently visited this wonderful team and for someone who has battled dental issues for the past decade....this was the best experience of my life! Shannon at the front desk was amazing with setting my appointment and helping me handle all my new patient paperwork. Tonya and Dr. D connection and how he took her experience to help me solve a problem I didn't even recognize was a problem with a crown. Now I can chew again on my right side. I will definitely be bringing my family. Edit: I almost forgot about Dash, my hygienist....she had personality who's smile showed through her mask!
I’ve had traumatic experiences with dentists in the past and I was so nervous coming to a new dentist. I finally worked up the courage to make an appointment and I saw Radiant Smiles had great reviews! Now I know why! The receptionist on the phone was so accommodating and kind. Booking my appointment was fast and easy. Once I arrived, I was greeted and taken back almost right away. My hygienist was unbelievably gentle, understanding and caring. She made sure I was comfortable the whole cleaning while also doing an incredibly throughout job! The dentist himself came in and took a look, explained a few things and encouraged me instead of lecturing me like most dentists do. I HIGHLY recommend making your next appointment with Radiant Smiles. I will never go anywhere else!!
