Gas for facial fillers?

I suspect that dentists who perform filler injections offer nitrous for their patients if they have significant anxiety during filler placement.  In my practice, if the patient has a great deal of anxiety I prescribe a small dose of Xanax or Valium that they can take on arrival to my office.  Prior to taking any of these anxiolytics I make certain they have a ride home from my office. 

I've never heard of anybody using nitrous oxide for filler injections. If you have severe anxiety ask your doctor about prescribing a mild sedative like xanax that you can take prior to your procedure. Just remember that you will require a ride to and from your appointment if you take any medication.

It's totally natural for you to feel anxious before having a procedure done. Fortunately, fillers are minimally invasive and rarely require any type of sedation. If you are very anxious about having the procedure done without some type of sedation, I would recommend an oral sedative such as Ativan or Valium or Xanax. This will typically allow you to tolerate the procedure very well.
