Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) in Calgary
Relax during your dental hygiene appointment with safe, effective nitrous oxide sedation.
At Lifetime Smiles Dental Hygiene Clinic, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help patients feel calm and comfortable during their dental hygiene care. This is an excellent option for patients who experience dental anxiety or difficulty relaxing during treatment.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that is inhaled through a small nose mask. It helps you feel relaxed and at ease while remaining fully awake and able to communicate with your hygienist.
The effects begin within minutes and wear off quickly after your appointment.
