What is happy gas?

  • For many anxious patients, getting comfortable in the dental chair is not possible
  • By wearing a very comfortable nosepiece mask, patients securely inhale a mixture of nitrous and oxygen which leads to a relaxed and calm experience at the dentist.
  • It is very regulated and secure as patients can easily exhale and inhale air through their mouth for “ordinary air” and within a few breaths, the happy gas would have left the body
  • Following the procedure, pure oxygen is administered to assist the recovery process. Because the effects of the gas typically dissipate quickly, patients are assessed individually by our clinical team to determine when they are safely able to drive.
  • This is a widely utilized and well-established sedation method in dentistry.

Advantages of Dental Inhalation Sedation

  • Safe when administered by trained dental team
  • Immediate onset after a few minutes
  • Self Regulatory and Absolute control
  • Recovery Time is short
  • Very few side effects
  • Depending on the procedure, you can return to normal activity

Most Importantly, patients who are anxious can slowly have the confidence to return for future treatment under happy gas without feeling fearful.

How to arrange to discuss this further?

Let’s begin to ease your dental fear by meeting one of our professional, nurturing dentists who will discuss all your options in a home like dental environment.

While happy gas is safe and low-risk when administered by a trained professional, there are still minor short-term side effects and specific health situations where it should not be used.

These mild side effects only affect about 5% of patients and typically disappear within minutes of breathing pure oxygen:
  • Nausea and vomiting: Risk increases if you eat a heavy meal before your appointment.
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness: Causes a brief floating or unsteady feeling.
  • Headaches: Can occur if the final oxygen flush phase is cut short.
  • Shivering or sweating: Temporary body temperature fluctuations while inhaling the gas.
  • Disorientation: Mild fogginess or brief claustrophobia from the nose mask.
