Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a colorless and odorless gas used in dentistry for sedation. It has been commonly administered to patients since the 1800s. It remains one of the most popular methods for easing dental anxiety. In addition, nitrous oxide is often combined with other forms of conscious sedation to create an even deeper state of relaxation while undergoing treatment.


Interesting Facts About Nitrous Oxide Sedation

  • Nitrous oxide can be used safely on both adults and children.
  • Patients remain conscious when under nitrous oxide sedation but experience a heightened feeling of relaxation and well-being.
  • Nitrous oxide wears off quickly after it's stopped, so you don't have to worry about any lingering effects following your appointment at our Irving office.

Why Choose Nitrous Oxide For Dental Sedation?

For those who suffer from fear or anxiety related to dental work, nitrous oxide may be an ideal solution for achieving peace of mind during treatments like fillings or crown placement procedures. The primary benefit is that it allows patients to remain conscious throughout their appointments without feeling overwhelmed by discomfort or stressors from visiting the dentist's office. It helps keep you relaxed while allowing your dentist to perform necessary procedures more efficiently and effectively than they could without its use in Irving, TX. Additionally, using nitrous oxide requires no recovery time afterward, so there are none of the risks associated with other forms of anesthesia, such as general anesthesia, which needs additional monitoring before the patient leaves our practice. 


Process Of Administering Nitrous Oxide

The process begins by having a face mask placed over your nose through which a mixture of nitrous oxides are released into your respiratory system, helping reduce anxiety, and fears, as needed per individual cases. During this period, you will typically feel relaxed & euphoric though always remaining alert & responsive during the entire procedure. This method provides superior analgesia (pain relief), amnesia (memory loss), anxiolysis (anxiety reduction), muscle relaxation & improved mood with minimal side effects, making it a highly effective form o dental sedation choice especially recommended by many dentists due to its quick onset & fast recovery times!

I just recently received treatment for a broken tooth, and I got to say that I have found a dentist for life. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They treat you like family and quite frankly I got to say that I was terrified of going to the dentist always and now I think that I’m very comfortable knowing that I’m in good hands. I would recommend dental artistry to anybody that is looking for a very professional and family environment. Awesome!

Not a dentist appointment fan, but here they made sure I felt at ease and comfortable. I had the most comprehensive new-patient exam and left knowing exactly what my options are. 100% recommended! Friendly, client-oriented, professional and knowledgeable staff. They know how to take care of patients who struggle with dental visits.
Karla Pino
To say I was impressed by the extremely thoughtful and professional service is an understatement. I have been to various dentist throughout my life and the women at Dental Artistry surpassed my expectations. If you are looking for a new dentist and you are not a fan of going to one in the first place, look no further. You will feel like you are at home and you will feel that you are cared for--because you are! They even have Netflix to watch on noise-cancelling headphones while you are getting your treatment (in case you don't like the sound of the tools on your teeth).
Valentina Charria
My experience with Dental Artistry has been lovely. All the women that work there are kind, friendly, and professional. After years of avoiding the dentist, I needed to have significant work done. The treatment has been painless and quick.

You know how you can sometimes be skeptical when you see an overwhelming number of positive reviews on a company's website? Especially when some comments seem too enthusiastic to be true? Well, those are the kind of reviews I was reading on the Dental Artistry site so I decided to drive to their office in Irving to check them out. I was so impressed I signed up for an appointment that very day. Since then I've had some procedures done and am working with them on a plan for my long-term dental care.
