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.
