N₂0

N₂O is perhaps the most sought-after clinical sedative because it offers an ideal experience: a painkiller that induces a euphoric feeling. It is a safe and effective sedative that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a mask that fits over your nose. It is odorless, pleasant tasting, and typically begins to work within five minutes.
When laughing gas is first administered, you may feel:

• Relaxed
• A warm sense of well-being
• Happy or silly
• A tingling sensation
• Numbness in your mouth, hands, or feet
• Hearing changes
• Sleepiness

You will remain alert and able to respond to Dr. Pandhi’s requests and questions while breathing N₂O. It’s an effective option for increasing comfort, because relaxation occurs quickly and the depth of sedation can be increased or decreased, which few other sedation techniques allow.
