Laughing gas

used to have it all the time in balloons. $5 a balloon. Makes your brain feel like its getting kinda fried and everything is not exactly normal, kinda cartoony, but after you have inhaled all from the balloon, the high is over.
 
I had teeth pulled years ago


Laughing gas was awesome


you sort of forget whats going on, look around, bite the poor dentist... I was convinced I was a tiger and bit down on the numbing needles a few times. Was concious the whole time and have full memory, just.. didnt.. care 🙂

Your wish is granted...

I choose my dentists on whether they are near home, have late hours, and use nitrous for teeth cleaning. I insist on it! I usually get to veg out on it before they do any work, including cleanings. Man, I REALLY trip on that stuff. Remember to breathe deeply through your nose, keep your mouth closed, and tell them you're not sure it's working, i.e. crank up the mix!

I just had a procedure by an oral surgeon, and insisted on nitrous. Trouble is, the bastard went to work right away, so I didn't get to enjoy it. It's a big help though, because I tend to gag without it, and it helps a LOT with any anxiety about what's going on. Your attitude is, "Do what you will, that's what I'm paying you for!"


...make sure you have someone to drive you home.

Pffft, it wears off five minutes after they take you off it. Only side effect is feeling like taking a wizz, and slightly light-headed.
 
I used to do lots of nitrous balloons for fun years ago. I need something stronger when I go to the dentist.
 
I had it done once

I started laughing at the clock

then I got really nervous that it didn't put me to sleep and I passed out
 
ha ha ha ha ho he he he he he he he he he he!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
 
...pretty major dentistry work coming up...

He's probably getting a root canal or something similar. Nitrous and Novocaine will be plenty, cheap, and he can drive himself home.
 
Crap, you need to worry more about the Rx for pain afterword, than the actual procedure. Pick that up on the way home for sure!

Yeah... I can imagine... I know they are going to take care of me that way for sure... I'm just scared as hell about the actual work being done... I dont want to feel that crap, or remember it even if I can prevent it...

So 8 teeth total at one time...

When they did my wisdom teeth, they put me under. It's a good thing they did, since they had to spend well over an hour breaking the bottom teeth into little pieces. If I'd been anywhere near awake for that I probably would have freaked out.

I think mine only took 40 mins, but the novicaine was wearing off as they were breaking the last 2 teeth into pieces to get them out of my jaw.... that hurt like hell


Plus the sound of cracking and breaking teeth just doesnt seem right 🙂

PS I bled through my nose the next day because one of my upper roots went into my sinus cavity so blood was coming in there and out my nose

Thanks for sharing... I'm SO excited to go now... 🙁
 
I sang christmas carols from the office radio while they were breaking out my wisdom teeth. Yeah, I'd say it's a damn good time 😀!

edit: well, minus the prying the teeth out part, that wasn't too pleasant.
 
They gave me some of that stuff when I had my wisdom teeth out. It just makes you feel all light headed and relaxed... you won't care what's happening around you at all. Just make sure to breathe through your nose, it wears off REALLY fast if you start breathing "normal" air through your mouth.

Not really... you'll have missed out on the entire experience, only to find out 9 months later that you're a daddy and she owns your ass for 18 years.
