Things to Know about Sedation Dentistry

Unlike with other forms of sedation, patients will be able to drive themselves home after nitrous oxide/laughing gas sedation. However, a caregiver will need to be present during your procedure for safety reasons.

Please note that as nitrous oxide must be inhaled; people with medical issues or certain breathing problems might not be eligible for nitrous oxide use. Talk to your Katy dentist about your medical history before your procedure and let him or her know if you have any medical problems worth mentioning.

If you have any questions about nitrous oxide, our staff would be happy to assist you. Call our Katy, TX office or make an appointment to talk to a dentist today!
