Laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide, is a colorless, non-flammable gas with a slightly sweet odor. It has been used as an anesthetic in dentistry for over 150 years and is still a popular choice today. Laughing gas can be used to relieve anxiety and pain during dental procedures.
Laughing gas is administered through a mask that is placed over the patient's nose. The gas is inhaled and quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. It takes effect within minutes and can produce a feeling of relaxation and euphoria. Laughing gas also has analgesic properties, which can help to reduce pain.
