Laughing Gas Sedation in Cromwell, CT
Laughing gas is an effective way to reduce anxiety for most dental procedures. At Unicorn Dental Group, it’s the mildest form of sedation we use, and it’s inhaled comfortably through a small mask over the nose.

No Lingering Effects
As a mild sedative, laughing gas doesn’t cause short-term memory loss like other forms of sedation. Once the mask is removed, the effects dissipate almost immediately, allowing you to return home with no lingering effects. No escort is necessary when using only laughing gas for sedation, making it a convenient choice for patients who want a little extra comfort without added logistics.
