For patients who are anxious, stressed, or afraid of the dentist, we can help! At Jurich Dental we provide sedation medications (including laughing gas and anti-anxiety medications) for worry-free dentistry. Remain at ease knowing there are minimal laughing gas side effects.
Laughing Gas Dentistry
When you have laughing gas, you will be conscious throughout your visit, but you will feel a deep sense of relaxation. Feeling relaxed helps you feel comfortable during the visit, avoid feeling afraid of the dentist, and even recover more quickly and avoid soreness and stiff joints.
Sore jaws and muscle pain are a common side effect of tense patients who clench their jaws or lock them open throughout their dental visit. Having laughing gas will help your jaws relax, which allows the dentist to work quicker and also lessens any muscle stiffness or jaw soreness you may sometimes feel after visiting the dentist.
Laughing Gas Side Effects
After having laughing gas at the dentist, you may feel a little drowsy for a few hours after your visit. We recommend that you have someone drive you home from your dental visit. Patients from San Antonio are amazed at how easy their dental procedures are with sedation dentistry. They also appreciate the fact that they often don’t remember anything about the actual procedures sedation dentists perform.
Laughing Gas at Your Dental Visit
Part of conscious sedation is laughing gas, which is a commonly administered medication that helps many patients relax during their dental visit. It’s simple to administer, it’s safe, and it offers a sense of relaxation almost instantly.
We’ll give you a small oxygen mask that will fit over your mouth and nose. Then, you just lie back in the chair and breathe normally. You won’t fall asleep or become unconscious. Laughing gas is a gentle relaxant and is a safe way to help patients all around San Antonio relax and feel comfortable instead of being afraid of the dentist.
