Sedation Dentistry in Tulsa, OK
We understand how serious dental anxiety can be, but we want to ensure you receive the necessary care. To help you relax during treatment, we offer nitrous (laughing gas) sedation – a safe, convenient way to ease anxiety.
Sedation dentistry is commonly used and ideal for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or those undergoing longer treatments like deep cleanings, root canals, etc. But it’s also available upon request for other treatments.

How is nitrous sedation administered?
Laughing gas is administered through a small mask placed over the nose. The patient inhales a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, which causes relaxation and euphoria while remaining fully conscious.
-
Is sedation dentistry safe?
When administered by a licensed dentist, sedation dentistry, including nitrous sedation, is considered a safe option for easing anxiety. It has become a very common option for adults and children. Nitrous sedation has minimal side effects. You can drive yourself afterward and return to normal daily tasks.

How long does nitrous sedation last?
Laughing gas takes effect within a few minutes. The effects stop almost immediately once the nitrous is no longer being applied. Most patients return to normal within 5–10 minutes and can go about the rest of their day as planned.
