Laughing gas is a gas that you inhale that can help you relax during dental procedures. If you’re given the laughing gas, you could be nauseated, so it is recommended to avoid eating for at least a couple of hours prior to the procedure. It is the least harmful and gentlest type for dental sedation. It calms you and keeps you aware of your surroundings. When you take off your mask, the effects fade very quickly, and you can move about your day.
