Whippets

Nitrous Oxide (N2O)also known as “Laughing Gas”, is a colorless gas used to relax the body and mind. Our dentist typically use N2O in a 80:20 ratio: 80% Nitrous Oxide and 20% Oxygen. When Whippets are used at home, 100% of Nitrous Oxide is used. Whippets typically only last 10-15 minutes. Therefore when one Whippet is found, oftentimes there will be several more found near by. Whippets are usually found with a device called a “cracker.” Find out more by listening to this week’s episode!
