Nitrous oxide is a beneficial sedative that our dentist, Dr. Robert R. Blackhurst, is thrilled to offer at Blackhurst Dental. This is because it can help you have the positive and successful dental appointment you deserve. To help you know all there is to know about nitrous oxide, our dentist is happy to share some nitrous oxide facts. Those facts are:
-Nitrous oxide is a chemical compound that is a colorless, non-flammable gas that has a slight metallic scent and taste.
-Nitrous oxide is also known as laughing gas or nitrous.
-Nitrous oxide is released through a mask. You will wear the mask over your nose during your dental appointment. When you inhale, the gas will enter your system.
-Nitrous oxide will not put you to sleep. It will make you feel calm, relaxed and happy all while allowing you to understand your dentist and respond to him.
-The effects of nitrous oxide will dissipate quickly. In fact, when you take the mask off your nose, you will start to feel normal once again. This means you will be able to drive yourself home after the appointment.
-Our nitrous oxide is completely safe to use.
