What Is Nitrous Oxide Used for In Dentistry?
If dental anxiety makes you reluctant to get the high-quality endodontic care you deserve, nitrous oxide sedation at Eastern Shore Endodontics may be the solution. Our Daphne, AL office offers nitrous oxide sedation for patients undergoing long or complex endodontic procedures and those who feel uneasy during more routine visits. Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is a simple and safe sedation method that helps you stay relaxed while remaining fully awake. Dr. Tres Manasco and our team are pleased to provide this option to ensure your comfort during treatments. Schedule a consultation at Eastern Shore Endodontics to learn if nitrous oxide sedation can make your experience a better one.
How Do You Administer Nitrous Oxide for Dental Work?
During your consultation, we'll discuss your treatment and medical history to determine if nitrous oxide sedation is a good option for you. N2O is administered using a hood or mask that fits over the nose. As you breathe in the gas, you should quickly start to notice a tingling sensation in your outer extremities, as well as a feeling of warmth, euphoria, or well-being as the gas begins to take effect. Our team will monitor your reaction and vital signs during the procedure and adjust the flow of nitrous oxide to ensure you're safe and comfortable. When the procedure is done, the gas will be turned off, and the effects begin to subside shortly after. Most patients are able to drive home after their nitrous oxide dental procedure, as the effects typically wear off very quickly.

Eastern Shore Endodontics Reviews
Eastern Shore Endodontics is by far the best dental experience I have ever had. From the first call I knew I made the right choice picking this location. DR Manasco and his team are above exceptional when it comes to patient care and efficiency. 12/10 would recommend!
If having a root canal could be a pleasant experience, this was it! It was pretty quick and painless and Dr. Tres called to check on me that evening to make sure all was still going well. I highly recommend!
It was the BEST experience!! There was no need to be anxious at all! Dr. Tres and his amazing staff were so kind and caring!
Everything went well with my wife’s root canal, no pain and no complications. Dr Manasco followed up with her same night, attention well appreciated
I had originally an appointment a week out and my tooth was killing me. They squeezed me in the next day and did 2 root canals. Dr talked me through each step and called and check on me the same day. I have no pain now. The office staff was amazing and welcoming.
