HomeTown Dental provides some patients with nitrous oxide before dental treatment.

Some patients get anxiety before having a dental procedure. We make our patients more comfortable by offering them nitrous oxide or more commonly referred to as laughing gas. Any fears or discomfort will vanish, just ask your dentist.

Nitrous oxide is a safe, sedative agent. When it is mixed with oxygen and inhaled, it makes patients feel more tranquil. Here at HomeTown Dental we like our patients to feel comfortable. This allows us to focus on providing the best dental care without any problems.
