Did you know that we offer Nitrous Oxide in all eight of our treatment rooms? It can be a very beneficial aid to relax you in the dental chair. Although it is unknown how Nitrous Oxide works, it has been used safely in dental offices since the 1800's. Nitrous Oxide produces a type of euphhoria when used in proper dosages during dental treatment. New licensing guidelines reinforce what our office has been doing as "the standard of care". All three of our hygienist have taken the required class and have been licensed in Nitrous Oxide. Because each patient requires a different level to be comfortable, we start with a low level of Nitrous Oxide and increase potentcy at small increasing intervals. This allows each patient the control of how relaxed they become, making each dental visit more desirable.
