Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a colorless blend of oxygen and nitrous oxide gases with a pleasant, sweet smell and taste. Inhaling nitrous oxide creates a sense of well-being and relaxation, and it is used effectively to help individuals who experience anxiety or fear about dental treatment feel more at ease. Nitrous oxide increases your pain threshold and, when necessary, makes the administration of anesthetic injections more comfortable. It is also helpful for patients who have a strong gag reflex that interferes with dental treatment.
- Nitrous oxide is one of the safest anti-anxiety agents used in dentistry, and it has very few side effects or risks.
- Nitrous oxide is non-addictive, and you will remain fully conscious during treatment.
- Administration is comfortable and painless, involving no more than a mask over the nose. This makes it an excellent option for children with dental anxieties or individuals with mental or physical disabilities.
- Feelings of calm and relaxation are felt almost immediately, and breathing pure oxygen for several minutes after treatment completely reverses the effects.
Less Time, More Comfort with Isolite®
The Isolite® System is a small invention that can make a big difference in your dental experiences. It has a light to illuminate your mouth from the inside, so treatments are shadowless and more efficient. This means you spend less time in the dental chair! The Isolite promotes comfort, too, by allowing you to rest your jaw during treatment. In addition, it completely eliminates the need for cotton rolls and rinse breaks. Come in and experience the difference!
TMJ Disorder & Chronic Headaches
Does your jaw ache when you open wide or chew something tough? You could be suffering from TMJ Disorder, or TMD, a condition that causes frequent pain in the jaw and neck. Other symptoms of TMD include chronic headaches, tooth sensitivity, and jaw clicking or locking. Dr. Han and our team can determine the cause of your TMJ pain by taking x-rays and performing a thorough examination of your bite, jaw joint and facial muscles. Once we know what’s causing your pain, we’ll help you find a treatment plan that’s right for you.
