How does laughing gas work in the body?

Laughing gas is inhaled through the lungs and then released into the blood. Its effect then unfolds in the central nervous system. 99% of the nitrous oxide is then exhaled again through the lungs.

Laughing gas has a calming, relaxing and anxiety-reducing effect on the patient during treatment. The sense of time becomes blurred, so that the treatment is usually felt to be shorter.

Throughout sedation, the patient remains awake, responsive and still in control.

Laughing gas can be used for almost any type of treatment, and there are few patients for whom laughing gas cannot be used due to general medical conditions.
