Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, more commonly known as “laughing gas,” is often used as a conscious sedative during a dental visit. The gas is administered with a mixture of oxygen and has a calming effect that helps phobic or anxious patients relax during their dental treatment. Because it is a mild sedative, patients are still conscious and can talk to their dentist during their visit. After treatment, the nitrous is turned off and oxygen is administered for 5-10 minutes to help flush any remaining gas. The effects wear off almost immediately. Nitrous oxide rarely has side effects, although some patients may experience minor nausea and constipation. Your doctor will provide you with pre-and post-sedation instructions.

Under Armour Mouthpieces & Mouthguards
Your Jaw Could Help You Perform Better While Playing Sports
Years ago, ancient Greek athletes, Vikings and Roman warriors all channeled their determination and focus by biting down on something while competing or fighting. Greek athletes bit down on leather straps, and Viking and Roman warriors chomped down on leather bits. Using their jaws during competitions and battles helped in some way, but this theory was never researched or proven until now.

We take pride in offering our patients the latest technologies available to ensure optimal care! We utilize Wand Computerized Injections to deliver local anesthetic virtually pain-free! By using computer technology, we are able to guarantee that the anesthetic will flow slow and steady ensuring our patients' utmost comfort.
Most patients associate the sting from dental injections with the needle piercing the skin, but actually, it is most likely from the fast flow of the anesthetic. While it is possible for the dentist to control the flow of the anesthetic from a syringe, the Wand guarantees a steady flow.
