This sedation is performed in-centre by an anesthesiologist or dental specialist. It often gives a calming, drowsy effect and causes the procedure to feel much shorter than it really was. 

Nitrous oxide is more commonly known as ‘laughing gas’. It is administered through a mask and eases patients’ anxiety levels. Once the gas is stopped, the sedation subsides quickly.

This form of sedation is like a sleeping pill. It induces drowsiness and calms down the patient for the procedure. This sedation may last several hours.
