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.

Could not ask for a better doctor and the staff is terrific kind gentle caring people would recommend them to everyone.
It was the first time I have taken my two sons there and they where really helpful and explained everything they where doing. I would recommend them to anyone. Dr. Lisbet and the Ashley the assistant where wonderful.
Hands down the best dentist I have ever been to. The staff is the best part and the place is always kept clean. Karla is the best greeter for that company and I love seeing her and talking with her. Ashley, Mary and Dr. C went above and beyond to take care of me today. I can't wait to see them all again.
My son Ryan has Down Syndrome, if you are a parent of a special needs child you know it is hard to find a dentist. Ryan and I both love Dr. Barton and Kelsey. They are both so patient with him and they let him decide how fast he would like to go. He does not mind going to the dentist now. Thank you both for being so wonderful with him.
Every time I go to Salisbury Family Dentistry, Karla is a smiling face I’m met with and she’s always willing to share a wealth of information. Mary always makes sure I’m confortable and is an excellent advocate to have for dental health. Now Dr.Cherniavsky is the best dentist I’ve ever had, and every single person that helps her makes sure I’m not in preventable pain. I’m so happy I found this dentist
(Translated by Google) Greetings! This week I have had several interventions and Mary has been very attentive and very cool to me, and Dr. Lisbet Cherniavsky is the best of all the dentists I have visited! I am terrified of the dentist but she is a sweetheart! The best! (Original) Saludos! Esta semana he tenido varias intervenciones y Mary a sido muy atenta y bien chevere conmigo, y la Dra. Lisbet Cherniavsky es la mejor de todos los dentistas con los que he visitado! Yo le tengo un panico al dentista pero ella es un amor! La mejor!
Kelsey and Dr. Barton did a great job on my fillings!
