Nitrous oxide is a straightforward and effective sedative designed to help you relax and feel at ease. We will place a small mask over your nose and ask you to breathe in. The pleasant-smelling gas will start to take effect almost immediately, helping you stay calm and relaxed as we proceed with the procedure. Once the mask is removed, the effects of the gas dissipate quickly. However, it’s still important to have a friend or family member accompany you to your appointment, as you may not be able to drive yourself afterward.
