Inhalation sedation

Inhalation sedation

For patients who are particularly afraid of the dentist, treatment combined with inhalation sedation is recommended. Directly before the procedure, laughing gas (a mixture of medical oxygen and nitrous oxide) is administered to the patient through a special mask, which instantly reduces anxiety and tension, inducing a state of complete relaxation. The gas can be safely used in children and is also, in many cases, an effective way to combat dentophobia.

Tension- and stress-free treatment

An advantage of inhalation sedation is also the change in patients' attitude towards treatment that we observe. Many of them give up the gas after a few visits, ceasing to be afraid of the dentist. This is a big plus, especially for people who, due to panic fear, have been postponing their dental visit for a long time. Now this can change.

Nitrous oxide does not dull the senses and allows for full contact to be maintained with the Patient. It stops working after just a short moment, meaning you can drive a car as soon as 20 minutes after the visit ends.
