Breathe Easy with Laughing Gas at Noble Dental Group
Let’s face it—while some patients love visiting the dentist, many feel nervous about dental treatments like root canals, fillings, or veneers. In fact, over a third of Americans experience dental anxiety, and for some, that fear can lead to delaying essential care. At Noble Dental Group, we believe anxiety shouldn’t get in the way of your oral health. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide sedation—commonly known as laughing gas—to help you feel calm and comfortable during your visit.
What Is Laughing Gas?
Laughing gas is a safe, fast-acting sedative inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. It starts working within minutes, helping you feel relaxed, light-headed, and often even a little giddy—hence the name. It’s one of the most gentle forms of sedation and is widely used for both kids and adults.
During your procedure, our dental team at Noble Dental, Race Street Dental Care or Quaker City Dental will carefully monitor and adjust the level of nitrous oxide to ensure you stay relaxed throughout. Once the treatment is done, we switch you to pure oxygen, which clears the gas from your system quickly—so you can resume your day without lingering drowsiness. In most cases, you can even drive yourself home.
Who Can Benefit from Laughing Gas?
Laughing gas is ideal for patients who:
- Feel nervous about dental procedures
- Have a fear of needles, drills, or the dental setting in general
- Have very sensitive teeth
- Need help staying calm during longer appointments
A Trusted and Effective Solution
According to the American Dental Association, nitrous oxide is one of the safest and most effective methods for managing dental anxiety. It offers a gentle yet effective way to help patients receive the care they need—without fear or discomfort.
Other Ways to Ease Dental Anxiety
Even with sedation, simple steps can help make your visit more comfortable:
- Bring a friend for support before or after your appointment
- Listen to music or a podcast while waiting
- Practice breathing exercises to stay grounded and relaxed
