What is nitrous oxide gas?

• Nitrous oxide and oxygen gases (N2O-O2) are combined to form a safe and enjoyable breathable sedative administered through a little nose mask. (Yes, the doctor can still see your teeth.) Patients who use N2O-O2 are relaxed but fully awake and in control of themselves. It’s just a little something to take the edge off. The effects are completely reversible within seconds, allowing the patient to drive themselves home or carry on with normal activities. Kids love the “happy gas”, as it allows them to be good and actually enjoy the visit.
