Nitrious Gas for Dental Treatment Manly

At Dental on Cambridge we have a variety of tools to assist our patients to access dental treatment, and feel supported when they are doing so. These include asking us to play your favorite meditation, playlist or audio book through our noise cancelling headphones, watching some peaceful moving art on our ceiling mounted TVs, taking some medications prior to your appointment to help you relax, or accessing our onsite nitrous gas commonly known as ‘happy gas’ during your routine examination and clean or during required treatment.

Nitrous oxide is a colourless gas that is commonly used for sedation and pain relief. The sensation has been described as feeling at ease, floating or a relaxed sensation. The gas is inhaled through a nasal hood which is gently placed over the patients nose for the procedure. These nasal hoods are single patient use only. The effects of the gas occur within 2-3 minutes of first inhalation, and wear off usually within the same time period after inhalation ceases. If you would like to access nitrious gas for your routine examination and clean, or to complete your treatment please let us know at the time of booking your appointment.

It is not recommended for use if you are pregnant, please discuss this with your dentist before any procedure. Dr Alex Ritchie and Dr Simone Faoro offer nitrious oxide for patients at our practice.

If you’re not sure if this treatment assistance is for you, our team are also more than happy to book some extra time for your appointment if you need more time with our dentists to talk through your preferred treatment settings and solutions.
