This method, which is extremely effective and reliable in patient relaxation, has helped millions of people overcome the fear and anxiety they feel during their dental treatment.

Nitrous oxide is a very important auxiliary tool to overcome the fear of dentistry with the relief it provides. Nitrogen protoxide, known as laughing gas among the people, is actually a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, which are the main components of the air we breathe, in different proportions. If this gas is taken by inhalation, it causes relaxation in the body, increases the pain threshold and does not feel pain.
The reason why many people are afraid of dentistry is the pain felt as a result of anesthesia (needle) applied in the first stages or not anesthesia in very simple procedures. Since nitrous oxide prevents the pain felt during these first stages, it provides a lot of convenience in treatment applications. Nitrous oxide is administered simply by inhaling the gases in two tubes to the patient. The best part of this application is that it is easily accepted by the body, there are no complications and risks, and the patient returns to normal 3-5 minutes after the application is stopped. It is a treatment method that has been used for many years in the world with almost zero complications.
During the application of nitrous oxide, a general unconsciousness does not occur, as in the application of general anesthesia. The patient is fully conscious, responds to speech, and has all of his senses and reflexes. Along with this, a state of relaxation and pain relief occurs. During the treatment, the patient can continue to breathe nitrous oxide through his nose or the procedure can be finished according to the level of relief. It is a process that can be applied repeatedly when necessary and is extremely safe. Conscious sedation can be applied in almost all people without risk, in practice conditions.
