Nitrous Oxide Sedation in Kissimmee, FL

Definition

What is Nitrous Oxide?

We understand that coming in for oral surgery can cause anxiety. At Kissimmee Oral Surgery, our priority is ensuring your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Nitrous oxide, often referred to as "laughing gas," is one of the most common and safest methods we use to help you achieve that ease. It's an inhalant that provides a light, calming effect that safely reduces anxiety while keeping you fully conscious and able to respond to the surgical team.

Who Benefits from Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety

If the environment of a dental office causes you to feel nervous, apprehensive, or restless, nitrous oxide is an excellent tool. It provides a feeling of calm and well-being, allowing our team to complete your surgical treatment efficiently while you remain relaxed and entirely in control.

Individuals with sensitive teeth or gums

For patients who naturally have extremely sensitive teeth or gums, the calming effects of nitrous oxide can reduce awareness of sensory triggers. This allows us to work more effectively and gently, ensuring your procedure is not only successful but also physically comfortable throughout.

Patients who experience a strong gag reflex

A strong gag reflex can make even routine examinations difficult. Nitrous oxide gently diminishes this reflex, making it possible for us to access and treat the surgical area without causing distress. This is a critical factor we manage expertly at Kissimmee Oral Surgery to ensure smooth, uninterrupted treatment.

Children needing extra comfort during dental visits

For younger patients who require a bit of extra help managing their nervousness or simply sitting still for a necessary procedure, nitrous oxide offers a safe, highly controllable, and temporary calming effect. It allows them to feel comfortable and fosters a positive association with dental care.
