Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas or Dental Sedation) for Dental Procedures
At Clovercrest Dental Surgery, we offer nitrous oxide sedation – also known as laughing gas or happy gas – to make your dental visits as comfortable, relaxing, and stress-free as possible.
Giving nitrous oxide is a way to help reduce patient’s pain and anxiety during dental treatment. The gas is given through a small nosepiece, and patient be awake throughout the procedure. Patient usually recover quickly from the effects of the gas after their dental treatment has been completed.
What is Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation?
Nitrous oxide, commonly called laughing gas, is a safe and effective form of dental sedation used worldwide to help patients feel calm and reduce discomfort during dental procedures. This gentle sedative is administered through a small, soft nosepiece, allowing you to stay awake and fully responsive throughout the treatment while feeling deeply relaxed.

How Does Laughing Gas Work?
The process is simple and non-invasive:
1. A soft nosepiece is placed gently over your nose.
2. You breathe normally as the nitrous oxide gas is delivered.
3. Within a few minutes, you’ll feel light, calm, and stress-free – many patients report a pleasant, ‘floaty’ sensation.
4. After the procedure, the gas is switched off, and you breathe pure oxygen to flush out any remaining gas from your system.
5. You’ll recover quickly and can usually drive home or return to work the same day.
