Hi docs, would nitrous oxide help my stress/shortness of breath at the dentist?

Yes: The nitrous oxide will help reduce anxiety levels and the accompanying oxygen will help maintaining or improve sp02 blood levels.

Definetely: Nitrous oxide also called laughing gas allows fearful dental patients to breathe easier, relax and be less stressed during dental procedures. The good news is nitrous oxide considered safe and non-addictive when used correctly. Take care.
