RAK Hospital introduces Happy Gas dental sedation for anxiety-free treatment—first in Northern Emirates. Quick, safe, and affordably priced.
Ras A Khaimah: RAK Hospital has launched a revolutionary Happy Gas dental sedation service, becoming the first in the Northern Emirates to offer this anxiety-free innovation. Using nitrous oxide—commonly known as laughing gas—the hospital aims to transform how patients experience dental care, especially those with phobia or anxiety.
Led by Dr. Anurag Singh, Specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, the new protocol ensures that patients remain awake but deeply relaxed during procedures. This advancement is particularly beneficial for adults who avoid dental visits due to fear or past trauma. Treatments like fillings, extractions, and minor oral surgeries can now be completed with significantly reduced stress and discomfort.
“Dental anxiety is a very real and common issue,” noted Dr. Singh. “With Happy Gas, patients are calm, conscious, and fear-free. Many who previously delayed care are now returning with confidence.”
Nitrous oxide sedation is fast-acting, reversible, and requires no fasting or hospital admission. Offered on an outpatient basis, the process is straightforward—patients can return to their routine immediately after treatment. This aligns with global practices, where such sedation is standard for improving dental experiences.
RAK Hospital further enhances accessibility by pricing the Happy Gas dental session at just AED 350, making it one of the most affordable sedation options in the region. This reflects the hospital’s commitment to inclusive and patient-centric care.
Dr. Raza Siddiqui, Executive Director at RAK Hospital, shared, “We are proud to introduce this globally trusted technique. At RAK Hospital, comfort is not a luxury—it’s a standard. Happy Gas makes quality dental care more approachable for our diverse community.”
While the service currently caters to adults, plans are underway to extend it to children, making dental visits easier for the whole family. Early adopters of the sedation technique have reported overwhelmingly positive experiences, and its demand is expected to grow rapidly.
RAK Hospital’s Happy Gas dental initiative reflects a broader mission: to modernise healthcare experiences through empathy, innovation, and excellence.
