Anxiety caused by the idea of having to have a dental treatment is a fact that concerns Dr. Thu Nguyen and her team.  We understand that “fear of dentist” is a real thing and it can be hard or even impossible to control.  This is why we now offer the service of nitrous oxide to our anxious patients as well as to nervous and/or agitated kids.

Nitrous oxide allows anxious patients to relax while getting a dental treatment.  This mix of gas (composed of nitrous oxide and pure oxygen) allows you to calm down and gives you a feeling of daydreaming.  Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas has little side effects and it can be titrated throughout the whole treatment.  It is considered to be the safest form of sedation with many useful advantages in dentistry.  Once the treatment is done, the gas will be completely eliminated from your body, allowing you to get back to your daily activities.

Dr. Thu Nguyen and her team received a proper training and certification in order to administer nitrous oxide.  Therefore, you can be confident that you will be receiving this kind of service in the hands of a competent team and in a secure environment.

So, if you feel anxious, stressed or nervous with the idea of visiting Dr. Nguyen, conscious sedation is an efficient and safe option that you can consider for your next dental treatment.  Contact a member of our team at (450) 691-0711.
