Some of the benefits of laughing gas in dentistry include:
1. Quick onset and recovery time: Nitrous oxide gas is fast-acting and typically takes effect within minutes of inhalation. It wears off quickly after the procedure, so patients can usually drive themselves home afterward.
2. Reduced anxiety and fear: Laughing gas is anxiolytic which can help to reduce anxiety and fear of pain while undergoing invasive dental treatments, making the experience more comfortable for the patient.
3. Increased pain tolerance: Laughing gas can also increase a patient's pain threshold, allowing them to tolerate uncomfortable or painful procedures more easily.
4. Easy to administer: Nitrous oxide is a gas that is administered through a small mask that fits over the nose, making it easy and convenient to use. Small procedures can even reduce the need of local anaesthetics which otherwise need to be injected.
5. Safe for most patients: Laughing gas is considered safe for most patients, including children, pregnant women, and patients with certain medical conditions.
Overall, laughing gas is a safe and effective option for patients who avoid dental treatments out of fear and painful past experiences. It can help to make the experience more comfortable and less stressful, while also allowing the dentist to perform necessary treatments more efficiently.
