Nitrous Sedation (Happy Gas) Dentist

Happy gas is a way that our Platypus Dental team can help you feel relaxed at the dentist. It helps take the edge off the whole appointment as you breathe through a nose-piece during your dental visit. 

You will feel a bit spacey, relaxed and a significant reduction in sensations. Happy gas almost makes you feel ‘tipsy’, in a way, and is a safe adjunct for any dental visit.

The treatment involves breathing in a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen (‘laughing gas’) which quickly leads to a pleasant, relaxed feeling. You remain conscious all the time, although you may be a little drowsy. There are no after-effects and you can drive a car after about 15 minutes. 

For all of these reasons, happy gas is the most frequently used and safest sedation method used in dentistry.
