Nitrous Oxide IV Sedation(Laughing Gas)

Nitrous Oxide IV Sedation

Many Canadians avoid going to the dentiMany Canadians put off getting regular checkups at the dentist because they are too frightened or have dental anxiety. An excellent method for helping those who are afraid of the dentist have a safe, stress-free dental experience is sedation dentistry. It’s a common misconception that sedation dentistry involves putting patients to sleep. In actuality, most sedatives let the patient to stay awake throughout the procedure. While some medicines make you sleepy, nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation simply serve to calm your nerves while you’re at the dentist.st for regular exams because they are too afraid or suffer from dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry is a fantastic technique to assist individuals who are terrified of the dentist with a safe, anxiety-free dental experience. Sedation dentistry is frequently misunderstood as a method of inducing sleep. In reality, the majority of sedatives allow the patient to remain awake throughout the surgery. Some drugs cause sleepiness, but nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation only act to reduce anxiety during the dentist appointment. 

How is Nitrous Oxide IV administered

Nitrous oxide, sometimes referred to as “laughing gas,” has a mild sedative effect. Nitrous oxide elevates mood and can provide a sense of general wellbeing. It reduces discomfort and worry throughout the process, which is what matters most. Numbness and tingling might also exist. Since nitrous oxide has few drawbacks, it has been used safely in dentistry for a long time.

Intravenous (IV) sedation is utilized for shorter sessions when nitrous oxide is administered. The effects happen right away since it enters the circulation immediately. Patients may experience fatigue and drowsiness after the IV sedatives are stopped. This is why having a designated driver with you on the return trip is essential.

After a nightmare experience with a pediatric dentist in Ottawa, I am so grateful to have found Dr. Saran and her wonderful team. I was told by her previous dentist that my 4 year old would need to go to Cheo and be put under to fill her 4 cavities. I’m so glad I sought out Dr. Saran for a second opinion. She filled 2 cavities in her office (without freezing) in under 10 minutes and the other 2 cavities have since hardened up after following Dr. Saran’s recommendations. My second daughter (now 3 years old) was born with missing enamel and has had numerous fillings with Dr. Saran, again without any freezing. My kids love going to the dentist! Dr. Saran is quick, extremely skilled, and trustworthy. I just can’t recommend her enough. The admin team, Rebecca and Kayla, are always so friendly and accommodating. They have squeezed me in a few times with very little notice for dental emergencies. The staff here truly cares! Although we are moving to Nova Scotia, we will continue to bring the kids back to see Dr. Saran. there is no other dentist I would trust more with my kids’ health. Thank you for everything!

Great experience at Gateway Dentistry, the staff was very friendly and helpful. No wait time. Dr. Bezreh is a great and extremely professional doctor! Today the receptionist told me they had stopped direct billing to insurance companies for all patients, a little bit disappointed, but this does not change the overall experiences.
