Do you find yourself becoming anxious when you step foot into the dentist’s office? Or perhaps your nerves start to give you trouble at the mere thought of going. At Plymouth Valley Dental Group, our friendly doctors and staff do everything in our power to make the environment comfortable for you, but we understand that there will still be patients who struggle to relax in the dentist’s chair. For those patients, we offer a helpful solution that can help calm the nerves and make your dental visits more enjoyable – Nitrous Oxide. As a Nitrous Oxide dentist, we are able to administer this harmless sedative for patients of any age who may need it.
Not only is Nitrous Oxide safe, but it is effective and easy to administer. If you receive this sedative, it will be through a simple mask over your nose. Many people know Nitrous Oxide by another name – “laughing gas.” Nitrous Oxide dentists are those who are equipped to offer this options for their patients. After having the mask placed on your face, you should begin to feel the effects within a few minutes. The gas will not put you to sleep (you will still be able to talk and interact with your dentist), but it will cause you to feel extremely relaxed and calm. One great benefit is that the effects are temporary and soon after the mask is removed, you will be back to feeling completely normal.
Why Choose a Nitrous Oxide Dentist?
- Nitrous Oxide will help you relax and face your dental visits with calm confidence
- The gas is completely safe and easy to use
- The effects are temporary – lasting only during your actual time in the chair
- No IVs or needles are needed to receive this sedative
- You can remain conscious and still communicate with your dentist while on Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous Oxide has been proven safe and it is virtually impossible to overdose. It is completely eliminated from the body within just minutes of removing the mask so that you can plan to drive yourself home without any danger.
