Nitrous oxide , also known as laughing gas, is a colorless, non-flammable gas that has been used as an anesthetic and pain reliever in dentistry for over 150 years. It is safe and effective for use in both adults and children and can help to reduce anxiety and pain during dental procedures. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been some concern about the use of nitrous oxide in dentistry. However, the American Dental Association (ADA) has stated that nitrous oxide can be used safely in dental offices that are following proper infection control protocols. The ADA recommends that dentists use nitrous oxide in conjunction with other infection control measures, such as masks, gloves, and eye protection.

Unveiling the Secret: Dentists' Use of Bonding on Back Teeth

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material is applied to a tooth to improve its appearance. Bonding can be used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, close gaps between teeth, or whiten discolored teeth. It is a relatively simple and inexpensive procedure that can be completed in one office visit. Bonding can be placed on the front or back of teeth. Bonding on the back of teeth is often used to repair damage that is not visible from the front of the mouth. This type of bonding can also be used to strengthen teeth that have been weakened by decay or trauma.
