What A Is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a mild form of sedation dentistry that works via inhalation to produce a relaxed feeling and help you receive the care you need without anxiety or discomfort. When you receive nitrous oxide sedation our dentist will simply place a nose mask over your face.
As you inhale, you can become more relaxed and may experience a euphoric or “floating” sensation. We will monitor you closely during your appointment to ensure that you feel comfortable and are safe.
The effects of nitrous oxide will wear off within a few minutes after you stop inhaling the gas, allowing you to legally and safely drive yourself home.
Who Is Good Candidate For Nitrous Oxide?
Our dentist and team may recommend nitrous oxide for anyone who suffers from dental anxiety or dental fear. It may be a great option if you feel anxious because you are receiving a treatment you have not had before, feel stressed or uncomfortable, or simply dislike the sounds, sights and smells of the dental office.
We encourage you to discuss your concerns with our dentist during your appointment so that we can determine if nitrous oxide is a good option for you and take steps to ensure your comfort.
If you have any questions about nitrous oxide sedation and to make your appointment, call our office today!
Who Is A Good Candidate For Dental Implants?
Anyone who has lost a tooth or teeth is a candidate for implant dentistry. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you will most likely be able to receive implants without any difficulty.
If you have a pre-existing condition, such as tooth decay or gum disease, you will need to receive treatment for that condition before you can receive an implant.
How To Care For Dental Implants?
Dental implants are intended to be permanent replacements for your missing teeth and require the same care as your original teeth in order to keep them stable and functional in your mouth. This includes daily brushing and flossing as well as regular visits to your dentist for preventive care.
