Welcome to Hanover Dental, where we strive to provide our patients with the highest quality dental care in a comfortable and relaxed environment. We understand that some patients may experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist, which is why we offer nitrous oxide and oxygen sedation to help them feel at ease.

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective sedative that is inhaled through a small mask placed over the patient’s nose. It is a colorless and odorless gas that helps to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation during dental procedures. Nitrous oxide does not put the patient to sleep, but rather induces a state of conscious sedation. Patients are still able to communicate with their dentist and respond to instructions throughout the procedure.

Nitrous oxide is a fast-acting sedative that takes effect within minutes and wears off quickly once the mask is removed. This means that patients can return to their daily activities immediately following their appointment. Nitrous oxide is also safe for use in children and can be a helpful tool in reducing anxiety during routine dental check-ups or more complex procedures.

At Hanover Dental, we also offer oxygen sedation, which is a combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Oxygen sedation is also inhaled through a small mask and helps to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation, but it has the added benefit of providing pure oxygen to the patient. Oxygen sedation is ideal for patients who have respiratory issues or require a higher level of oxygen during their procedure.

Both nitrous oxide and oxygen sedation are safe and effective methods of sedation for dental procedures. They are administered and monitored by our highly trained dental team, who will ensure that you are comfortable throughout your appointment. If you have any questions or concerns about nitrous oxide or oxygen sedation, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are committed to providing you with a positive dental experience and will work with you to find the best sedation option for your needs.
