What is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
We offer nitrous oxide sedation in Denton, which is an inhaled gaseous
substance combined with oxygen that’s administered through a mask
placed over your nose at the beginning of your appointment. Once you begin
to relax, we can adjust the dosage as necessary, until your treatment is
complete. The effects wear off almost immediately, so you’ll be able
to drive yourself home a few minutes after we remove the mask.
We use the latest advanced technology that the dental world has to offer to improve our patients’ comfort and make every appointment virtually painless. We also accept patients of all ages, so you can schedule your entire family’s appointments for high-quality and thorough preventive dental care at Denton Dental Center.
