<\/div>[vc_column_text]Nitrous Oxide Sedation is a very effective way for Dr. James Sparaga to help you stay relaxed and comfortable during a dental procedure. It is a very\u00a0light form of sedation<\/b>, which works fast and wears off quickly.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What is Nitrous Oxide Sedation?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Nitrous oxide, often called \u201claughing gas\u201d is a colorless gas that Dr. James Sparaga can give you to\u00a0help you relax<\/b>. It is very safe when professionally administered, and it works extremely well to\u00a0reduce the anxieties<\/b>\u00a0in many dental patients. Approximately one-third of all dentists use nitrous oxide in their offices. It is often used to sedate a patient for a short period of time, or in conjunction with another sedation medication.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Is Nitrous Oxide Sedation for me?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Dr. James Sparaga has been trained exactly when and how to administer nitrous oxide, so feel free to\u00a0ask if it is right for your situation<\/b>. He wants to sedate you only as much as necessary, but there are other methods of conscious sedation available if nitrous oxide is not enough for you to feel comfortable. In general, it delivers a very good,\u00a0light sedation<\/b>\u00a0for patients who have some minor discomfort with dental visits, especially during some more invasive procedures. Very often it is used for a short period of time when Dr. James Sparaga is drilling or pulling a tooth and thinks sedation would make things less stressful for you. Sometimes it is used in conjunction with other sedatives to keep patients very relaxed and totally comfortable.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What can I expect from Nitrous Oxide Sedation?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Dr. James Sparaga will put a mask on your face or a small tube called a cannula under your nostrils to give you a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide. It usually\u00a0takes effect very quickly<\/b>, and lasts for as long as it is kept on. During the procedure you will feel extremely relaxed, with a sensation that has been described as \u201cdreamy\u201d, but you will remain awake. Once the nitrous oxide is off, patients usually\u00a0feel normal again very quickly<\/b>, and can almost always drive themselves home after the appointment.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Is Nitrous Oxide Sedation safe?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Yes, it is\u00a0extremely safe<\/b>\u00a0when given by a medical professional like Dr. James Sparaga. Nitrous oxide is one of the safest medications available. While most people have no negative reaction to relatively short periods of time on nitrous oxide, it does make a small percentage of people feel nauseated.\u00a0Dr. James Sparaga has been trained<\/b>\u00a0how to best deliver nitrous oxide, and will have you under close supervision for the duration of the procedure.[\/vc_column_text]
