With the help of our Nitrox equipment we can provide all kinds of dental treatment under conscious seditation. During the treatment the patient inhales a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide, whereby the amount of the oxygen is reduced step by step and substituted by nitrous oxide.
As a result the patient loses control about time, distances and room feeling and falls half asleep. This method was taken from scuba diving and is equal to the so called deep intoxication. it is completely free of side effects and particularly useful with children and fearful patients suitably with prescribed application.

The effect which the gas produces upon the system,” reported the Albany Microscope, “is truly astonishing. The person who inhales it becomes completely insensible, and remains in that state for about the space of three minutes, when his senses become restored.

Nitrous oxide was discovered and isolated in England in 1772. It was soon the subject of a book by a leading American scientist named Samuel Latham Mitchill, a book written in rhyming verse (a scientific fad that didn’t quite catch on). Refuting these findings, the British chemist Sir Humphry Davy, then twenty-one, wrote a booklet on nitrous oxide in 1800. In it he acknowledged that the first effect of inhalation was sublime, an “ideal existence.” The second was laughter and a desire to communicate some of the overwhelming joy unleashed by the gas, the laughing gas. The third effect, after a large dose, was insensibility to feeling, a fact that led Davy to suggest that nitrous oxide could probably be used to alleviate pain during surgical operations.
