Sedation dentistry is an effective and safe procedure approved by the FDA. However, there are many types of sedation ranging from relax, pain free with NOS gas to more aggressive intravenous sedation (or i.v. sedation). At Oak Springs Dental we specialize in providing nitrous oxide sedation.

Nitrous Oxide (N20) is an odorless gas administered by inhalation and widely used as an anesthetic not only in the dental industry but in medical applications as well for more than 150 years. With nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas), you will fall into a deep relax pain free state. Unlike other more aggressive sedation methods like intravenous sedation (or i.v. sedation) with nitrous oxide sedation you would not get knocked out or put to sleep. You will remain responsive and conscious (and pain free) at all times and this why so many people prefer nitrous oxide sedation dentistry over other types of more invasive types of sedation dentistry.
