Dental sealants are white plastic coatings placed in the grooves of the biting surfaces of permanent back teeth to help protect them from decay. Sealant placement is painless procedure that should be done when the chewing surface of the tooth has erupted completely beyond the gum.

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a colorless, odorless to sweet-smelling inorganic gas that is a safe and effective means of managing pain and anxiety in dentistry. Laughing gas is safe use for both adults and children and clears rapidly from the body so that patients do not require a driver to safely get home from their appointment. If you are anxious about your dental procedure please take care to share your concerns with us. Most patients find that nitrous oxide allows them to comfortably complete most dental procedures. Although there are very few contraindications for usage of nitrous oxide, please make us aware if your are pregnant, have been recently ill with a cold or congestion or have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
