Anxiety-Free Dentistry
Why We May Recommend Nitrous Oxide During Your Appointment
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for some patients. Dental anxiety is common, and our team is committed to helping you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout your treatment. If you experience dental anxiety, Dr. Jackson may recommend nitrous oxide after reviewing your medical history and discussing your needs.
Nitrous Oxide at Jackson Family Dentistry
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild form of sedation that can help reduce anxiety while allowing you to remain awake and responsive throughout your appointment. It is administered through a small mask placed over your nose. As you breathe normally, you may begin to feel calmer and more at ease.
The effects of nitrous oxide typically wear off quickly once the mask is removed and you begin breathing regular oxygen. Most patients can resume their normal daily activities shortly after treatment.
Feel More Comfortable During Your Treatment
No matter what your previous dental experiences have been, our team at Jackson Family Dentistry will do everything we can to make your visit comfortable and positive.
