Nitrous Oxide Sedation in Tampa, FL

Ease dental anxiety and stay calm during treatment with safe, effective nitrous oxide sedation at Wang and Cortes Dental. Serving families in South Tampa and surrounding areas.

What is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?

Nitrous oxide, often called “laughing gas,” is a safe and effective form of sedation used to help patients feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. This mild sedative is inhaled through a mask and induces a state of relaxation without putting you to sleep, making it ideal for patients who experience dental anxiety.

Who Can Benefit from Nitrous Oxide?

Nitrous oxide is a versatile sedation option suitable for adults and children who may feel nervous or uncomfortable in the dental chair. At Wang and Cortes Dental, we often recommend nitrous oxide for:

• Patients with Dental Anxiety: Nitrous oxide helps ease nervousness and make the experience more pleasant.
• Children: Young patients benefit from nitrous oxide to stay calm and cooperative during treatment.
• Sensitive Gag Reflexes: Patients with a strong gag reflex may find nitrous oxide helpful during procedures.

Our practice provides nitrous oxide sedation to families throughout South Tampa and nearby neighborhoods, including Manhattan, Waters Ave, Midtown, Ballast Point, Hillsborough, and the Tampa Bay area.

What to Expect with Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Nitrous oxide sedation is straightforward and begins working within minutes. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:

1. Preparation: Our team places a comfortable mask over your nose and begins administering the nitrous oxide.
2. Relaxation: As you inhale the gas, you’ll quickly begin to feel calm and relaxed, allowing us to perform your treatment with ease.
3. Immediate Recovery: Once the procedure is complete, we stop the flow of nitrous oxide, and within minutes you’ll feel fully back to normal.

Our skilled dental team, including Dr. William Wang, Dr. Lourdes “Millie” Cortes, Dr. Chad Burton, and Dr. Gibson Boswell, is dedicated to providing a comfortable experience. We closely monitor you throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and relaxation.

To enhance your experience further, we recommend scheduling routine Dental Exams & Cleanings and Preventative Dentistry services for ongoing oral health.
