Frequently asked questions
What is happy gas, and do you use it?
Happy gas, or nitrous oxide, is a mild sedative agent that safely and effectively manages pain and anxiety during dental treatment.
Dentists choose nitrous oxide because it is a safe and effective method for sedations. The gas works quickly to relax patients, and the effects wear off quickly by breathing pure oxygen through a mask.
The nitrous oxide does not put you to sleep. It puts you in a relaxed state and provides pain relief. You can hear and respond to the dentist’s questions or instructions. However, you may not remember all the details of the appointment.
Nitrous is commonly used in dentistry for the following reasons:
- Patients who are fearful or anxious
- Patients with special health care needs
- Patients with gag reflexes that interfere with dental care
- Patients who do not respond adequately to local anesthesia
- Younger patients who must undergo lengthy dental procedures
What is an occlusal splint and who needs one?
An occlusal splint is a custom-made mouthguard worn at night to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism). It helps protect teeth and reduce jaw pain or headaches caused by clenching.
