Nitrous Oxide Sedation
A safe, comfortable way to go through every treatment in complete calm.
Conscious Sedation with Nitrous Oxide in Rome
Sedation with nitrous oxide is the lightest and safest form of conscious sedation. It involves breathing in a carefully balanced mixture of nitrous oxide (N₂O) and oxygen through a comfortable nasal mask.
Within minutes the patient reaches a state of pleasant relaxation, staying fully conscious and able to communicate. Anxiety fades, the sense of time changes and dental treatment becomes a calm experience.
At the end of the session, breathing pure oxygen for a few minutes is enough for the effects to wear off completely. The patient can drive and return to normal activities with no restrictions.
How It Works
Preparation
You settle into the chair and a nasal mask is gently put in place.
Inhalation
You start breathing the nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture. Within 2-3 minutes you reach relaxation.
Treatment
The dentist carries out the treatment while you are completely relaxed and free of anxiety.
Recovery
You breathe pure oxygen for a few minutes. The effects wear off and you can return to your day.
