NITROUS OXIDE (LAUGHING GAS) SEDATION
GENTLE, ANXIETY-FREE DENTAL CARE WITH LAUGHING GAS
Dental anxiety is more common than many people realize—and it shouldn’t prevent you or your child from receiving the care you need. At Kingsview Dental, we offer laughing gas (nitrous oxide sedation) to help patients feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable throughout their visit.
Nitrous oxide is a mild, safe sedative inhaled through a small nose mask. Under the care of Dr. Kinjal Patel, laughing gas is carefully administered and monitored to create a soothing, slightly “floaty” feeling—without putting you to sleep. You remain awake, responsive, and in control, while feeling far more at ease.
Laughing gas offers many benefits, including:
Calmness and reduced anxiety
A diminished gag reflex
Safe use for children, teens, and adults
Reduced sensitivity to noise, vibration, and pressure
Ability to respond normally to instructions
Quick recovery, allowing you to drive yourself home
Because its effects wear off quickly, nitrous oxide is one of the safest and most effective sedation options in modern dentistry—ideal for routine procedures, longer treatments, or patients with dental fear.
If dental anxiety has been holding you back, help is available. Call Kingsview Dental today or book your appointment online with Dr. Kinjal Patel to experience gentle, anxiety-free dental care with laughing gas. We’re here to help you feel comfortable every step of the way.

HOW LAUGHING GAS WORKS
Step 1 – Comfortable Preparation
A soft nose mask is gently placed to allow you to breathe normally.
Step 2 – Gentle Administration
We gradually increase the concentration to a level where you feel comfortably relaxed.
Step 3 – Relaxation During Treatment
You can still speak, respond, and breathe on your own, but feel calm and worry-free.

Once the gas stops, effects fade within minutes — no lingering grogginess.
