Sedation Dentistry
- Nitrous Oxide and
Oral Conscious Sedation

Nitrous Oxide

Visiting the dentist can bring forth fear and anxiety for many patients. Thanks to sedation
dentistry, we at Vanguard Dental can make appointments relaxing for every patient that visits
the dental chair. With the use of nitrous oxide, often known as "laughing gas," patients can feel
relaxed and comfortable during their dental treatment. From simple cleanings to cosmetic procedures,
patients can request nitrous oxide to stay comfortable and calm throughout their treatments.


Nitrous oxide is administered through a face mask, and is an odorless gas that can calm a patient. It relaxes the individual so they are still conscious and aware of their surroundings. Many adults compare it to the feeling of several glasses of wine, making them less anxious about their treatment.

When a patient has Nitrous Oxide sedation at Vanguard Dental, they will not need to schedule transportation to and from their appointment. The effects of nitrous oxide disappear as soon as the mask is removed. The patient is fully coherent and able to drive back home or to work immediately, making it a wonderful alternative to oral sedation and other methods used by other dental offices in the area. It is safe and effective in addressing fear and concern in patients who are less than thrilled about visiting the dentist.

Families from Wilbraham, Hampden, Springfield, Ludlow, East Longmeadow, Longmeadow, Chicopee,
Belchertown, and Monson will be delighted to know that their local private-practice dentist at
Vanguard Dental provides sedation dentistry.

I love Vanguard Dental. Dr. Kanorwalla was gentle with her touch, understood my fears and explained things, so I was able to put my mind at ease. I only wish I found Vanguard Dental earlier.
