Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Dental anxiety shouldn’t stop you from getting the care you need. We do not offer sedation dentistry, but we do offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help you feel calm and comfortable during your visit.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) in Shawnee, KS
In our local dentist’s office, we know how challenging dental anxiety can be. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas: a safe, reliable, and effective way to help you relax during dental treatments. Please note that we do not offer sedation dentistry; nitrous oxide is the option available at our office.
Nitrous oxide is commonly used for procedures like tooth extractions and deep cleanings, but it’s also available for other treatments upon request. At Monticello Family Dental, we ensure a safe and comfortable dental experience.
