What is nitrous oxide sedation?

Laughing gas sedation is a safe and effective method where you inhale a mixture of oxygen and laughing gas. This provides a calming and relaxing feeling, while you remain conscious. The effect occurs quickly and disappears within a few minutes after the treatment. Find out more about our method.

Laughing gas sedation is a mild form of sedation where you inhale a mixture of laughing gas and oxygen through a comfortable nose mask. This provides a calming and relaxed feeling, while you remain fully conscious. Unlike general anaesthesia, where you are put to sleep, laughing gas makes you feel calm without losing control.

Within minutes of inhaling the gas, you will feel relaxed and less anxious. The effect of nitrous oxide is mild, which will make you feel comfortable and at ease during the treatment. Once the treatment is finished, you will be given pure oxygen for a few minutes, which will quickly remove the nitrous oxide from your body. This means that afterwards you will be clear-headed and can resume your daily activities without any problems.

The Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Laughing gas sedation offers several advantages that contribute to a pleasant dental treatment. Some of the most important advantages are:

  • Instant relaxation – Within minutes of inhaling laughing gas, you will feel calm and at ease. The tension you normally experience when visiting the dentist is significantly reduced.
  • Control is maintained – Unlike general anesthesia, you remain conscious and can respond to the dentist’s instructions. You retain control over your body and breathing.
  • Fast recovery – After the treatment, the effect of laughing gas disappears within a few minutes, leaving you completely clear-headed and able to continue your day without any problems.
  • No after effects – Laughing gas has no long-term side effects and is completely eliminated by the body through breathing. This means that you will not be drowsy or sleepy after the treatment.
  • Suitable for children and adults – Laughing gas is frequently used in children and adults who experience fear or tension at the dentist.

Who is laughing gas sedation suitable for?

Laughing gas sedation is an excellent option for several types of patients. This method can be particularly beneficial if you:

  • Suffer from dental fear or phobia – Are you nervous or anxious about dental treatment? Laughing gas can help you relax and make the experience more pleasant.
  • Has difficulty with long treatments – For longer treatments, nitrous oxide can help keep you comfortable and make the time pass more quickly.
  • People with a strong gag reflex – Some patients have a sensitive gag reflex, which can hinder treatment. Laughing gas helps to reduce this reflex.
  • Had a bad experience in the past – If previous dental visits have been unpleasant, laughing gas can help reduce your anxiety and rebuild confidence.

What super friendly dentists and assistants! I'm not really a fan of dentists (who is?), but I was completely put at ease and they only started working after I had become a bit more relaxed.

No “time = money” mentality, but patient above all mentality. They think along and do not drill and fill unnecessarily if they see that it is not necessary.

I am very happy that I knocked here a few months ago and can really recommend them to everyone! Then you still have to drive to the beautiful Lelystad 😉

Fear of the dentist, the good and decisive assistant of this dental practice helped me to overcome my terrible fear.

The dentists treat the patient with fear, as a human being, do their work with a lot of patience. Under anesthesia my teeth are cared for professionally and expertly. Fear of the dentist does not have to be a threshold with this great team. Just walk into the practice and experience it yourself.

I haven't been to the dentist in years and have been suffering from toothache for a while. I came across this practice and I could immediately go for my toothache. With a lot of patience the dentist helped me and I can FINALLY eat normally again...
