Conscious sedation is a technique used in dentistry to help patients manage anxiety or fear related to dental procedures. It typically involves the inhalation of nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas), which induces a state of relaxation without loss of consciousness.

The patient remains awake, responsive and able to cooperate, but feels significantly calmer and more at ease throughout the treatment.
It is a safe and effective method for both adults and children, always administered under the close supervision of trained dental professionals.
