Nitrous Oxide Sedation

We offer sedation dentistry in Cypress for your dental procedures...

For decades, our dentists at Cypress Family Dental have enhanced the smiles of many through state-of-the-art treatments, including teeth straightening and teeth whitening in Cypress. Our dentists are certified to sedate their patients with nitrous oxide to alleviate any anxieties associated with certain surgical procedures. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is commonly used during certain procedures that involve surgical treatment. Some of these procedures can create fear and anxiety in the patient, which is common in any surgical procedure. Laughing gas eases the patient’s anxiety and makes them more comfortable and relaxed. If you’re getting a root canal, implant, tooth extraction, dental crown, or an array of other procedures, chances are our dentists will recommend sedation.

Laughing Gas Cypress, California

Nitrous Oxide Is Common and Safe

We can address any concerns when it comes to using nitrous oxide...

If you’re concerned about the long-term effects of laughing gas, don’t be! Since laughing gas has everything to do with the air you inhale, you will feel normal shortly after your breathing apparatus is removed. Laughing gas is a great approach because there are no lingering after-effects. Even though you will feel normal after the apparatus is removed, it is important to wait at least 15 minutes before leaving the dental office. Unlike other methods of sedation, your body processes laughing gas so quickly that you are free to even drive yourself home after your procedure.

Types Of Dental Sedation

Here are the options for sedation dentistry...

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide (or laughing gas) is a colorless gas that is inhaled during dental procedures. It calms the patient down and exits their system shortly after the procedure is done.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is a form of sedation dentistry that requires the patient to take a pill orally hours before their procedure.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is where the dentist applies a sedative directly into the patient's bloodstream. It works faster than nitrous oxide but is stronger and stays in the system longer.

What Is Nitrous Oxide?

Our sedation dentist in Cypress can help you find the best option...

Nitrous oxide is a sweet-smelling, non-irritating, colorless gas which you can inhale. Commonly referred to as ‘laughing gas,’ this is a common technique that is used for surgical procedures and alleviates the fears and anxieties associated with dentistry. For decades, nitrous oxide has been the primary approach of sedation in the field of dentistry. All patients will still be able to breathe by themselves and remain in control of all bodily functions during the procedure. Although some patients may fall asleep or experience mild amnesia, it is a very common and safe technique that is utilized by thousands of dentists across the nation.

There are many advantages to using nitrous oxide. It provides patients with an array of benefits. The depth of sedation can be altered at any time to increase or decrease sedation. Inhalation sedation is safe and poses no harm to your heart or lungs. Nitrous oxide reaches the brain within 20 seconds and develops pain-killing properties within 2-3 minutes. Nitrous oxide exits the body quickly; it’s one of the few forms of sedation dentistry where the patient can drive home afterward. If you’re getting a procedure at Cypress Family Dental, ask your dentist if nitrous oxide could be a good fit for you.

The Doctors Are Just Stellar

The sweetest people work here, I'm convinced! The ladies at the front desk always go out of their way to be kind and helpful, the hygienists listen to your concerns and will address them to their best ability, and the doctors are just stellar. I drive over 40 min from where I live to go here because it's rare to find a dental office this fantastic.

They Are So Efficient
Gordon A.

This is the best dentist I have been to and I have been to several. The team is professional and welcoming. They are never over-booked and I have never waited more than 5 minutes in the lobby. They are so efficient, no matter what I go in for, I am out in 45 minutes or less. I highly recommend Cypress Family Dental.

They Truly Care
Tina E.

The dentist and his staff are wonderful people! In the past, I have had horrible experiences at other dentist offices and then I found this place and I don't think I would ever go anywhere else again. I live about 45 min away from their office but the drive is well worth it. They truly care about their patients. I would recommend this office to anyone.

The Staff Did A Great Job
David L.

Came to Cypress Family Dental a year ago for my sleep apnea device. No more snoring! The staff did a great job fitting me for this oral appliance. Better yet, they were there to support me when I needed some adjustments later on. The front office staff couldn't have been more accommodating to schedule me in. Easy to recommend.
