Nitrous oxide - Relaxed and anxiety-free dental treatment

For many people, a visit to the dentist is associated with nervousness or anxiety. With nitrous oxide sedation, we offer you a modern and gentle way to experience your treatment in a relaxed and stress-free manner.

What is nitrous oxide?

Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is a sedative that has been used in dentistry for many years. It is inhaled through a small nasal mask and provides a feeling of calm and relaxation within a few minutes.

You remain awake and responsive during the entire treatment and can communicate with the treatment team at any time.

How does nitrous oxide work?

The effect of nitrous oxide is pleasant and easy to control:

  • Anxiety and tension are significantly reduced
  • a feeling of calm and serenity arises
  • the gag reflex is reduced
  • The treatment is often perceived as much more pleasant
  • Many patients perceive the time during treatment to be shorter

The dosage is customised and continuously monitored throughout the treatment.

Who is nitrous oxide suitable for?

Nitrous oxide sedation is particularly suitable for

  • Anxiety patients
  • Patients with severe retching
  • Children and young people
  • People with increased nervousness before dental procedures
  • Longer or more complex treatments

Is nitrous oxide safe?

Nitrous oxide is considered a very safe and well-tolerated sedative. It has been used in medicine for over 100 years. The effect sets in quickly and subsides completely within a few minutes after treatment.

A major advantage: after a short recovery period, most patients can leave the practice independently and without an accompanying person.
