Nitrous oxide sedation

Baldus Touch — nitrous oxide sedation

If dental visits make you nervous, or you find treatment easier when you are feeling relaxed, we offer nitrous oxide sedation (commonly known as laughing gas) during our procedures. Throughout the treatment you remain fully conscious and can communicate with your dentist, but you feel calmer and more at ease.

We administer the sedation using the Baldus Touch, a state-of-the-art device from German manufacturer Baldus.

In brief

  • You remain conscious throughout and are able to cooperate with your dentist.
  • The effect sets in and wears off within minutes.
  • Suitable for children and for anyone who feels anxious about the dentist.

„The Baldus device is a very advanced piece of technology that allows us to make your treatment significantly more comfortable. The dentist adjusts the gas flow continuously based on your responses, monitors any changes throughout, and once we are finished, administers pure oxygen to clear the gas from your system quickly.”

How the sedation works and who it is suitable for

How treatment with the Baldus Touch works

  1. A soft mask is placed over your face, through which you breathe a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide.
  2. The dentist adjusts the ratio of the two gases continuously based on how you respond to the sedation.
  3. Throughout the procedure you remain conscious, can understand your dentist's instructions and are able to respond to them.
  4. Once the treatment is complete, the dentist removes the mask and you breathe pure oxygen for a few minutes.
  5. The effect wears off quickly.

Who is sedation suitable for?

Nitrous oxide sedation is a good option if you feel nervous about visiting the dentist or having dental hygiene treatment. It is generally better suited to shorter appointments for adults (up to around 2 hours) or for children who simply need to feel a little calmer during treatment rather than being put to sleep. Adults and younger clients should otherwise be in good health and free of any relevant conditions.

 

If you are facing a more complex oral surgery procedure, or if your fear of the dentist is significant, deeper analgosedation or general anaesthesia may be more appropriate, allowing you to sleep through the treatment entirely.

About the Baldus Touch technology

We use technology from Baldus, a German manufacturer specialising in nitrous oxide sedation. The Baldus Touch was a significant innovation in the field when it came to market, offering unmatched precision. At our private clinic, DENT MEDICO, it allows us to ease clients' anxiety about treatment even more effectively and gives you an additional alternative to managed analgosedation.

Safety is, of course, the top priority. Features such as automated testing, deviation protocols and a fail-safe security system enhance the safety and comfort of treatment for both adults and younger children.
