-Nitrous oxide, also known as “happy gas”, is an agent combined with oxygen to produce a calming effect when inhaled. Nitrous oxide is a short-acting anxiolytic and analgesic agent. It is the safest sedative in dentistry. Your child remains fully conscious while breathing nitrous oxide/oxygen. The sedative effect is gone in about two minutes from the time the gas is turned off.
