Nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas, is the lightest and most widely used form of dental sedation. You breathe a blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a small, comfortable mask over your nose, and within a few minutes a warm, calm feeling settles in. You stay awake and able to talk with us, but the worry fades into the background.
When treatment is finished we switch you to pure oxygen and the effects clear within minutes, so you can drive yourself home. At Brampton Dental Care we offer nitrous oxide for cleanings, fillings, extractions and more, for adults and children alike.
If the thought of the dentist makes you tense, nitrous oxide softens that anxiety so you can get the care you have been putting off, without needing a deeper sedative.
Laughing gas relaxes the muscles at the back of the mouth and calms the reflex, making impressions, X-rays and work on back teeth far more comfortable.
Nitrous oxide is gentle enough for kids and helps young patients sit calmly through fillings, sealants and cleanings, turning a scary visit into an easy one.
Staying relaxed makes it easier to sit through root canals, multiple fillings or several procedures completed in one visit.
Nitrous oxide raises your pain threshold and works alongside local anaesthetic, so you feel gentle pressure rather than pain.
If laughing gas is not quite enough for you, we also offer IV moderate sedation for more complex treatment or higher levels of anxiety.
Nitrous oxide starts working within three to five minutes and wears off just as quickly once the mask comes off. There is no lingering grogginess, no fasting beforehand and no need for a driver, which makes it the most convenient way to turn a stressful appointment into an easy one.
From the first breath of laughing gas to the moment you walk out, every step is designed for comfort, safety and a stress-free visit.

Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a mild sedative you breathe through a small nose mask. It helps you feel calm and comfortable during dental treatment while you stay fully awake.
A blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen is delivered through the mask. Within a few minutes it reduces anxiety and creates a warm, relaxed feeling, while you remain able to respond to your dentist.
Yes. It has been used safely in dentistry for more than a century, the mix is adjusted for each patient and you are monitored throughout. It is suitable for most adults and children.
No. Nitrous oxide is minimal sedation: you stay awake, aware and able to communicate. If you would like a deeper level of relaxation, ask us about IV moderate sedation.
Patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, children who struggle to sit still, and anyone who simply wants a more relaxed visit.
Most patients feel relaxed within three to five minutes. The effects wear off within minutes of the mask coming off, once you breathe pure oxygen.
Yes. Because nitrous oxide clears so quickly, you can normally drive and return to your usual activities straight after your appointment.
No special preparation is needed. A light meal a couple of hours before is fine, and you do not need an escort.
