All dentists and orthodontists?!


Question:

All dentists and orthodontists?

do ALL dentists and orthodontists give nitrous oxide if the patient requests it INSTEAD of the needle??

like for removing teeth for example.


Answers:

Not all dentists are nitrous-equipped. Some have it, some don't.

Also, the chief effect of Nitrous Oxide is as an anxiolytic (makes a patient relaxed and prevents nervousness). It has very little anesthetic effect, and you will still need an injected local anesthetic to prevent pain during dental procedures such as tooth extraction.

Hope this helps.
