FAQ
Laughing gas in Skillman, NJ: your questions, answered
Yes. Dr. Maxim Godko, certified in nitrous oxide, oral and IV sedation, gives your laughing gas himself. He sets the level and raises or lowers it as treatment goes on, so it stays where you’re comfortable, and he keeps a current Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) certification.
Yes. Ask for nitrous oxide when you book at the Skillman, NJ office. It’s offered to anxious patients even for cleanings and checkups, and for fillings, root canals, extractions and wisdom teeth removal, with the tooth numbed as usual.
Yes. You stay awake, can talk with Dr. Godko the whole time and respond to anything he asks; you simply feel more relaxed. Some people find the details feel a little hazy afterward.
Yes. Laughing gas relaxes you; local anesthesia numbs the treatment area. The gas takes effect first, so the numbing is given once you’re already relaxed, which helps if needles make you nervous.
Yes, from the same dentist, so you don’t start over somewhere new. Oral sedation, a prescribed sedative pill taken before your visit, and IV sedation, a sleep-like state in which you can still respond, are both available, and with either one a companion drives you home. Dr. Maxim Godko is certified in all three levels and gives each himself.
Anyone with mild dental nerves, a fear of needles, a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth or trouble getting numb, and anyone who finds it hard to sit still through a long visit or several treatments in one sitting. Nitrous oxide isn’t the right choice for everyone, so Dr. Godko decides with you which sedation level fits at your personalized consultation.
Yes, you will. Nitrous oxide is priced at your personalized consultation, so you know the cost before anything starts, and nothing is scheduled until you decide. 0% financing through Cherry and in-house membership plans are available.
Some plans include coverage for nitrous oxide and others don’t, so the team checks your benefits with you before treatment. We accept PPO plans and most carriers, including CIGNA, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental and GEHA Connection Dental. No Medicaid, DMO or HMO plans accepted. We work with your insurance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit.
Yes. At the end you breathe pure oxygen, which clears the gas, and it wears off before you leave. Once you feel like yourself, you can drive yourself and head back to your day.
