At Arnett Dental Care, we understand that dental anxiety is real, and we want every patient to feel comfortable and relaxed during their visit. That's why Dr. Arnett and Dr. Pruitt are pleased to offer nitrous oxide sedation to help ease your nerves and make your dental experience as pleasant as possible.
How Does Nitrous Oxide Work?
Nitrous oxide is a safe, effective sedation option that's been used in dentistry for decades. During your procedure, you'll breathe in a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a small mask worn during your procedure. Within minutes, you'll feel relaxed and at ease while remaining fully conscious and able to respond to Dr. Arnett or Dr. Pruitt throughout your treatment.
One of the best benefits of nitrous oxide is how quickly it works, and how quickly it wears off! Once your procedure is complete and the mask is removed, the effects disappear within minutes, allowing you to resume your normal activities right away. Many patients appreciate that they can even drive themselves home after their appointment.
