What do dentist's use to sedate patients? Is it
laughing gas?
If i ask the dentist to sedate me and they use
laughing gas will it knock me out completely like
anesthesia used for surgeries or will i be in twilight sleep?
I'm sorry but 1xxcupcakexx1 is wrong in her answer. Laughing gas alone will not put you to sleep. It is meant to relax you and to help you not feel pain. If it was a sedative many of the EMTs and Paramedics that use it while transporting patients would not be allowed to as sedation medications are strictly for a Doctor or Nurse Anaesthetist to administer. You can get real giddy depending on the gas oxygen mixture.
