What Nitrous Oxide Sedation Feels Like
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is the sedation we offer free at our Vallejo office. You breathe it through a small mask that rests over your nose, and many people feel calm, warm, or a little tingly within a few minutes.

Questions About Nitrous Oxide Sedation
-
Is nitrous oxide really free?
Yes. Nitrous oxide comes at no charge at any visit to our Vallejo office, whether you’re in for a cleaning, a filling, or a root canal. It won’t appear as an extra fee on your bill. Ask for it when you book or once you’re in the chair, and we’ll set it up before we begin.
-
Can I drive myself home after laughing gas?
Usually, yes. When your treatment ends, you breathe pure oxygen for a few minutes to clear the gas, and most people feel like themselves again soon after. That means you can often drive home or head back to work the same day. If you still feel lightheaded, you’re welcome to rest with us until it passes.
-
Can my child have nitrous oxide?
Yes. Nitrous oxide is available to kids and adults at our Vallejo office, and it’s a common choice for children who feel uneasy in the dental chair. If your child needs deeper sedation for a longer treatment, we’ll explain why and refer you to a pediatric dentist who offers it.
-
Is nitrous oxide safe for everyone?
It’s safe for most people, but it may not be the right choice during pregnancy, with a stuffy nose that makes breathing through it hard, or with a lung condition such as COPD. Your dentist reviews your health history before offering it. If it isn’t a fit, we can still numb the area well, go at your pace, and pause whenever you need.
-
Can nitrous oxide help with a strong gag reflex?
It often does. Nitrous oxide relaxes you, and many people find their gag reflex settles along with their nerves, which can make x-rays and cleanings easier to get through. Our iTero 3D scanner also takes the place of messy impression trays, so there’s less in your mouth to set it off. Let us know when you book.
