Medicated Air
Fear of pain is the #1 reason people avoid
coming to the dentist! Nitrous Oxide helps patients overcome this fear.
Relaxation and a feeling of well-being results from breathing a mixture
of oxygen, air, and a mild anesthetic gas (nitrous oxide) through a nose
mask.
Please remember: Nitrous Oxide in NO way
resembles General Anesthesia. The patient remains alert and able to
follow the doctor's instructions.
