Patients young and old can receive “laughing gas”, also known as nitrous oxide. This mild sedative is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through the nose by way of a special mask. You should start feeling its effects within a few moments of breathing it in; you will not be unconscious, but you’ll feel very content about what is going on throughout the procedure. After the mask has been removed, the effects of the sedation should wear off quickly so that you can drive yourself home and continue with your daily routine.
