Laughing Gas Sedation

Nitrous oxide sedation at U Shine Dental is a safe and effective way to relax during dental procedures. Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that can help reduce anxiety and discomfort.

Nitrous oxide is administered through a mask that you breathe into. The gas quickly takes effect, providing a sense of relaxation and euphoria. The level of sedation can be easily adjusted throughout the procedure to meet your individual needs. After the procedure, the effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly, allowing you to return to your normal activities.
