National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS) has recently launched a nitrous oxide sedation service, specifically designed to alleviate dental anxiety in paediatric patients. Nitrous oxide sedation is a lower-risk alternative to General Anaesthesia (GA), particularly for complex dental treatments. It offers mild sedation, making it safer for the respiratory system and blood flow. Another advantage is its rapid elimination from the body, allowing for a quicker recovery.
