Laughing Gas
At Peachtree Corners Dentistry, we use laughing gas for a wide variety of in-house services. Our goal is to ensure you are comfortable, calm, and relaxed through any dental treatment or dental procedure.
What Laughing Gas Can Do For You
At Peachtree Corners Dentistry, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to reduce stress, anxiety, and any physical pain associated with dental treatment. Laughing gas is a safe and convenient way to help you feel more relaxed at the dentist while your treatment is completed. Laughing gas will not put you to sleep. It’s colorless and odorless and its usefulness stems from its ability to quickly work and safely reverse its effects.
It’s essential that you feel comfortable and safe during your procedure. Before any procedure, your doctor will recommend the appropriate level of anesthetic that meets your needs. Then, we will set up your appointment and plan accordingly for your procedure, knowing that you will be relaxed and calm during the dental appointment.
