It is no secret that some people find visits to the dentist unpleasant. This could be due to a previous traumatic experience. They may avoid or delay having regular dental care which may land them in an even more dire situation, as any tooth decay or gum disease may progress until well into an advanced stage.
At Parade Dental Ocean Grove, we offer happy gas to patients who are nervous about dental treatment. It is a long-standing, safe and effective technique that is administered through a hood that goes over the nose. This helps many people tolerate dental treatment who would otherwise not be able to do so. Happy gas is also known as nitrous oxide or relative analgesia.
Our true aim, however, is to create a calm and relaxing atmosphere. With gentle dentists and modern techniques to reduce pain and discomfort, hopefully the experience will leave you not needing happy gas at all!
