Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a colorless, odorless gas used in dentistry for its mild sedative and analgesic effects. It is typically administered through a mask mixed with oxygen, helping patients feel relaxed and less anxious during dental procedures. The effects begin quickly and wear off within minutes after the gas is stopped, allowing most patients to resume normal activities shortly after treatment. It's considered safe and effective for both adults and children when used appropriately.
