Laughing gas is a safe and effective form of conscious sedation commonly used in dental procedures. It is a colorless and odorless gas that is inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose. When inhaled, laughing gas works by reducing anxiety and increasing relaxation. It can also relieve pain and may make time seem to pass quicker. The effects of laughing gas can be felt within a few minutes and wear off quickly once the gas is stopped.

Laughing gas can be combined with local anesthesia during a wide range of both invasive and non-invasive procedures. It can be beneficial for patients who experience dental anxiety or have a strong gag reflex. It is also useful for patients who have difficulty sitting still or have a low tolerance for pain.

Children also benefit from laughing gas as it is a gentle and effective form of sedation. In fact, a study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association found that nitrous oxide is the preferred method of conscious sedation for pediatric dental patients, with a success rate of over 95%.
