Nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as "laughing gas," is another option for sedation during oral surgery. This colorless and odorless gas is inhaled through a mask, providing a gentle and calming effect. Unlike IV sedation, nitrous oxide allows you to remain fully awake and aware during the procedure while reducing anxiety and discomfort. Once the mask is removed, the effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your normal activities without any lingering sedative effects.
