Dental Sedation

Comfortable & Stress-Free Dental Care with Sedation Dentistry

At King Street Dentistry, we understand that dental anxiety is real, and we are committed to making your visit as relaxing and comfortable as possible. If the sights, sounds, or sensations of a dental office make you feel uneasy, nitrous oxide sedation may be the perfect solution for you.

What is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?

Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedation option that helps patients feel calm, relaxed, and at ease throughout their dental procedure. It is inhaled through a small nosepiece and takes effect quickly, allowing you to remain conscious yet comfortable and stress-free.

Reduces anxiety & enhances relaxation
Takes effect quickly & wears off rapidly
Safe for both adults & children
No lingering sedative effects after the procedure

For added comfort, local anesthesia ("freezing") is also used to ensure a completely pain-free experience.

Is Nitrous Oxide Safe for Children?

Absolutely! Nitrous oxide is a popular sedation choice for children, especially those who feel nervous about dental visits. Since it has no lingering side effects, kids can return to their normal activities shortly after their appointment. Our team closely monitors your child throughout the procedure to ensure a safe and positive experience.

Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is ideal for:

Patients with dental anxiety or fear
Individuals with a strong gag reflex
