Does the thought of visiting the dentist make you nervous? We understand that dental anxiety is a common concern. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide sedation—an effective and safe way to help you relax during your dental procedures. Our goal is to make every visit comfortable and stress-free so you can prioritize your oral health with confidence.
Nitrous oxide, often called "laughing gas," is a gentle sedative used to ease anxiety and promote relaxation during dental treatments. It’s a colorless, odorless gas that is inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose.
Unlike other forms of sedation, nitrous oxide allows you to remain awake and responsive while feeling calm and comfortable. It’s an excellent choice for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety or those undergoing routine procedures.
Nitrous oxide is widely used in dentistry for its many advantages, including:
During your consultation, our team will determine if nitrous oxide is the right sedation method for you based on your medical history and dental needs. Generally, it can be ideal for patients who fall under the following categories:
We know the thought of sitting in the dental chair can feel overwhelming for many people, so we create a calming environment designed with your comfort in mind. Alongside nitrous oxide sedation to ease anxiety, we offer ceiling-mounted TVs and noise-canceling headphones to help you focus on something relaxing instead of the sounds and sights of dental treatment. We can even administer numbing medication to ensure you don’t feel a thing during the procedure.
Our compassionate team is dedicated to providing personalized care, ensuring every visit feels as stress-free as possible!
If dental visits make you feel anxious, nitrous oxide sedation can help you relax and receive the care you need without stress. Don’t let fear stand in the way of your oral health—our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way.

“After many problems and consistent pain due to prior dental work on a cap, I decided to visit Dr. Sciortino. She was able to fit me in right away. I was so impressed by the office and staff. Dr. Sciortino is extremely knowledgeable and personable. She was able to resolve the issue that I had spent many visits at other dentists trying to resolve, and my pain is now completely gone. I highly recommend her!”
