Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Dental Anxiety

Let’s be honest, going to the dentist may never be “fun,” but it doesn’t have to be unpleasant either. At Flourish Dental, your comfort is our top priority.

Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or advanced cosmetic work, we take a warm, calming, and personalized approach to make your visit easier. This is a place where laughter often rings through the hallways, and where every team member is committed to making you feel at ease.

We understand dental anxiety is real. It can come from many sources, past experiences, fear of needles, or even the familiar smell of a medical office. If you’ve ever felt unheard at a dental clinic, we promise to listen. Our team will talk you through your concerns and support you every step of the way.

Worried about freezing not working? You’re not alone. Many patients have shared their frustration with being told “we’re almost done” while still feeling discomfort. That’s why we use a new and effective freezing method, specially designed for those who’ve had trouble getting numb in the past. And most importantly, we won’t start any treatment until you’re completely comfortable.

At Flourish Dental, we don’t just care for your teeth, we care about how you feel in the chair. Let us help change the way you think about going to the dentist.

Nitrous Oxide

At Flourish Dental, we use nitrous oxide, also known as “Laughing Gas”, as a conscious sedative during a dental visit. The gas is administered with a mixture of oxygen and has a calming effect that helps phobic or anxious patients relax during their dental treatment.

Because it is a mild sedative, patients are still conscious and can talk to their dentist during the visit. After treatment, the nitrous oxide is turned off and the effects wear off almost immediately. It is also safe and effective for use on children.
