Nitrous Oxide La Porte Texas | Laughing Gas La Porte

Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide) La Porte Texas

Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide) is a sweet-smelling, non-irritating, colorless gas that you inhale through your nose. It has been used safely in Dentistry for over a hundred years. In fact, dentist Horace Wells first used Nitrous Oxide to help with a tooth extraction in 1844. Laughing Gas has both a euphoric and analgesic effect. In other words, laughing gas makes you feel good and lowers pain levels.

Dr. Nugent’s daughter on Nitrous Oxide. Emily had to have two baby teeth pulled by her Father because the adult teeth were coming in and the baby teeth had not falling out yet.

 

Nitrous Oxide is a great for dental use because:

  • Nitrous Oxide is extremely safe.
  • Nitrous Oxide creates euphoria and has analgesic effects.
  • Patients may experience mild amnesia and not remember their dental appointment.
  • Patients retain their ability to break on their own.
  • Nitrous Oxide can be altered to give more or less, thus it can be more “dialed in for the patient”.
  • Nitrous Oxide minimizes gagging.
  • Nitrous Oxide onset is very rapid.
  • One the dentistry is completed, 100% Oxygen is given flushing the nitrous out of the lungs. The patient is completely recovered and has no “hangover”.
  • Patient can drive themselves home.
  •  Laughing Gas helps the fearful dental patient.
