The relaxed state it produces in the patient allows him to respond more favorably to treatment. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is very safe. You or your child remain fully awake and alert and can respond easily to stimuli. It is eliminated quickly from the body with normal breathing, however, for adult patients it is recommended that you do not drive for one-half hour after treatment.
