Nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as happy gas, is a fast-acting and mild sedative administered safely while you are seated in the dental chair. It helps you feel calm and relaxed throughout your dental procedure, while remaining awake and responsive. The effects wear off shortly after treatment, so you can typically return to your daily activities without downtime.
This form of sedation is suitable for both children and adults. It is particularly helpful for patients with mild dental anxiety or those undergoing longer or more complex procedures.
For patients needing deeper sedation, we offer referrals for oral sedation, intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anaesthesia through trusted specialist partners.

FAQ
Frequently Asked QuestionsExperience exceptional dental care with Brentford Dental’s expert Sedation in Forest Hill. Our friendly team focuses on comfort, quality, and long-lasting results—helping you achieve a confident, healthy smile every time.
Is nitrous oxide (happy gas) safe?
Yes. It is a well-established, safe form of sedation that is commonly used in dental clinics. It’s fast-acting, gentle, and wears off quickly after the procedure.
Have questions? Our team is happy to explain everything during your consultation.
Will I be asleep during sedation?
With IV sedation, you will enter a deeply relaxed state but remain responsive. General anaesthesia, available via referral, puts you in a fully unconscious state.
Let us know your concerns, and we’ll recommend the best option for your needs.
How long does the sedation effect last?
The duration varies. IV sedation effects can last for several hours, while general anaesthesia requires a longer recovery time. We will guide you on post-sedation care to ensure a smooth recovery.
Have questions about recovery? Contact us for detailed guidance.
Can I drive home after sedation?
No, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home after your procedure. The sedative effects take time to wear off, so we recommend arranging transportation in advance.

Is sedation only for patients with anxiety?
No, sedation is also beneficial for those undergoing complex or lengthy procedures, patients with a strong gag reflex, or individuals with difficulty sitting still for extended periods.

Are there any side effects of sedation?
