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 recently reviewed at a lower rating because I had been having trouble getting the front office staff to answer the phone and schedule my next appointment. They have since reached out and had quick availability for my cleaning, so I'll chalk it up to being unorganized for a few weeks. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Cherniavsky today and she is amazing. When I began visiting this office, I had an insane amount of work that needed to be done. Karla laid out my treatment plan into separate visits and we chipped away all year last year. With the help of the office, I've just had my first cleaning with no cavities, EVER. Liz, Amanda, and Dr. C are all amazing.
ABSOLUTELY MOST GENUINELY POLITE ,PROFESINAL & GREAT WITH THE NEEDLE NO QUESTION I'LL GO BACK WHEN NEEDED !
My husband loves this place and so do I! They are great there! Dr. Barton really helped my hubby through the pain of having his wisdom teeth removed. Kelsey was super sweet as can be! And they were so amazing with my kids! My middle son’s first dentist visit was a happy one! This is definitely the best dentist office around! Will always go here as long as we live in this area. Will miss them when we get to go back to the coast when our house is finished being rebuilt. We may continue to go here anyway cause I do have family that I’ll be visiting. Definitely worth a 4 hour trip to stay with such a great practice 😉
Salisbury dentistry is awesome. I got in and out of there quick. Kelsey, Karla, and Barton were all very friendly and on point with everything. I will ve going back there.
Everyone was very professional and kind. Amanda did a great job on my routine cleaning and I had no pain during the process. Great dentist!
Kaylyn is always so sweet and makes my visit's comfortable awesome service and very friendly I recommend her to anyone :)!!
I never really liked going to the dentist because I was so scared. the 1st time I went I told the lady I was scared of dentists. She held my hand while Dr. Smith checked me an pulled a tooth. The 2nd time i went i had no one to watch my son the lady at the front desk took him for a while until the x-ray was done. They did a wonderful job an I can't actually wait to go back to fix my smile. I don't feel as scared like I was the first time. I am really glad they care about other people an their teeth because some doctors don't even care they just do it to get it over with even of they mess up. But here at Salisbury family dentistry they take there time. They care for you. Thank you for making me not scared to come to the dentist thank you for caring. You guys are the best. I recommend them 100%
Karla is an amazing person to be greeted by and to help with insurance questions!! Kelsey is so super sweet and pleasant to be with when going through a procedure.. Dr. Barton was so kind and very patient with me and dentist anxiety.. 💛 will stay with my family dentistry for sure!!
My trip to this new dentist to me, Dr. Barton, was an absolute joy for me today! I was real nervous to begin with bc I didnt know the location of the office and my appointment was at 2pm. I was suppose to arive 15 mins early to fill out new paperwork. I actually got lost and drove around until about 2:30 trying to find the office, trying to call them frequently to get help with directions. Which I never got throygh bc they were on dinner break but just about as I had given up, they called me and it was so funny! They were just one drive beside where I was sitting in my car fixing to make a turn towards there office. I had just about pulled into it unknowingly! They had no problems excepting that I was at least 30 mins late! Took me in, I filled out paperwork and the girls at the desk were very helpful with me trying to get it done right and so very nice and polite, which started my new visit with them off great! Even though I was really late! Then I met the doctors attendant Kelsey, who was just so kind and sweet, just a joy to be around! We got things going, done an xray and was sit back in the room to await the doctors visit with me. I absolutely found Dr. Barton to be a joy also! He aswered every question I had and done my exam in no time hardly at all and made me very happy with the process that I was to have done for me! And then they sent me on my way to check out which Kelsey so kindly excorted me to and help me with getting signed out as well. The girls at the front desk were once again very kind and thoughtful and futher answered a couple of questions I had, which satisfied me alwsomely! My experience there was just a delight! Never have I been treated so well and welcomed with so much thoughtfulness and big smiles from everyone! It was a joy going to this office in every possible way! I actually smiled and laughed more than I had in days! This is the place for me and the only dentist or dentist office I would ever recommend to anyone! If you find yourself needing of a dentist or new dentist office this is the place to be! I left with a great big smile on my face, very content and happy with the whole visit@ Take the time to try these guys out they are a marvelous team to be around! You will enjoy your visit bc they will make it joyful to you! I just love the atmosphere there! And so happy I chose them as my family dentist for a lifetime! Thank you so much guys yall were great!
