What Are the Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation?

- Allows patients to feel peaceful amidst dental services
- Begins to work almost immediately, administering relaxation within minutes

What Can I Expect with Nitrous Oxide Sedation?
If you are receiving nitrous oxide sedation for your treatment, it will be administered through a mask placed over your nose. As you inhale the gas, you should very quickly start to feel more relaxed. You can expect a tingling sensation in your outer extremities and a feeling of well-being, warmth, and euphoria as the gas kicks in. Our team will monitor your reaction and health throughout the procedure, making adjustments as needed to help keep you at ease. Nitrous oxide is normally used along with a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine, to numb your mouth. After the procedure is complete, the gas will be turned off and the effects should start to fade over the next few minutes.

Fresh dentistry is the best! Both dentists are amazing with patients of all ages and do everything with care. Everyone on staff is kind and professional!
Exceptional service, from the office staff to the dentist. Everyone was so welcoming and caring. I loved this dental team and the clean facility.
Great experience with cleaning and checkup. Rosey very personable and Dr. Brown is friendly but straight forward with what is needed to getting a healthy mouth and good looking smile.
My family and I are new patients here and our experience has been stellar! My 5 year old has had a not so positive relationship with the dentist until he came here. He was relaxed, happy and I loved the patience, care and how they informed him of what they were doing the entire way! My husband and I also had an amazing experience from the front desk, to the nurses, to the hygienist, right on up to Dr. Brown!!! You feel the care, expertise and love for your teeth from the time you walk in the doors! 10/10 recommend!

Dr. Candace Brown, in particular, exemplifies what quality care should be. She upholds the highest standards of professionalism, taking the time to be thorough in her diagnosis, explaining services clearly, and ensuring that I am comfortable with each treatment plan. This service-oriented mindset is evident throughout the entire practice. Every staff member—from the assistants to the hygienists and fellow dentists—shows the same dedication to excellent patient care. Even the front office team mirrors this commitment. I truly appreciate the consistent, top-notch care I receive here.
