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’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!!
I found this place on accident and enjoyed my experience. It's a small practice so you don't feel like "just another patient" like some other larger practices. I highly recommend.
Ms.dash did an excellent job on the cleaning and answered every question I asked without hesitation,good choice to come here and take care of your teeth
Dr Desameau and his staff are all so sweet and they the reason I trust the dentist again he is so gentle and my whole family comes to him.Every appointment is painless and pleasant and I will keep coming here for everything and Mrs.Tonia and karen is also awesome😍
So my whole family sees the dentist there. My son says most enjoyable cleaning he's event had. They cleaned mine today and as always my teeth look amazing. Great care. Techs are awesome, front office staff are courteous, all sanitary measures are in place. Go see them. You won't regret it. Been a patient for years now.
I can definitely say I’m impressed with this place. They were all very professional and polite. I had no wait time and was in and out. I would recommend anyone looking to replace their old dentist for a new one, definitely check this place out. You will not be disappointed.
From the call to make an appointment to the time I walked out the door I was very happy. Everyone is respectful and I felt safe and comfortable. Literally all the staff were so nice. Dr. Barton was wonderful and understood my concerns. His assistant was super sweet. I could talk to her all day!
My Experience With Salisbury Family Denistry Was Absolutely Amazing...Ok For One, Opon Me Scheduling My Appointment VIA Phone, I Spoke With A Guy I Think His Name Was Matthew or Michael Well Anyway He Treated Me With The Most Compassion That Was Soo Heart Felt..I Asked Him Questions And He Was So Reassuring Through The Phone Call...Man I Really Enjoyed Yall, So On The Day Of My Actual Appointment I Really Didn't Know What To Expect, Being That It Was My Second Time Ever Visiting A Denistry, And Honestly All Across The Board Everything About My Appointment Was Extremely Heart Warming...I Was So Happy With Doctor Barton He Was Sooooo Informative And Patient Whenever It Came To Me And My Reasoning For Being There...
