Dental Nitrous Oxide in the Bay Area, CA

Gentle, relaxed dental visits with the help of “laughing gas.”

At My Favorite Dentist, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients—especially kids or those with dental anxiety. That’s why we offer Nitrous Oxide Sedation, commonly known as “laughing gas,” to help you feel calm and comfortable during your treatment. Safe and effective, nitrous oxide is ideal for patients of all ages seeking a more relaxed dental experience without the lingering effects of deeper sedation.

What Is Nitrous Oxide?

Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative delivered through a small nosepiece during your dental visit. It helps ease nervousness, reduces discomfort, and creates a sense of well-being—without putting you to sleep. You remain awake, aware, and able to respond to your dentist throughout the entire procedure.


The effects wear off within minutes after treatment, so you can return to your normal day right away.

Dr. Yadav is one of the best dentists in Sunnyvale. He truly cares about his patients and the team at the office is always kind and warm. The team ensures a sanitized roomed upon examination and are considerate of their patients needs. My daughter was able to enjoy her visit and left laughing rather than crying!! That speaks volumes to the kind-hearted team and Dr. Yadav. Thank you!

Dr. Yadav and his crew are very comforting and made me relaxed in their office. It's obvious his whole team care about their patients and their comfort. They are also very transparent and honest when it comes to suggested treatments and what my insurance covers and does not. If you're looking for an honest caring dentist go here.
