(Dental) Nitrous Newb....

[DesmoDiva]

Okay.

I think this thread has served it's purpose.  I'm going to lock it for now.

I'll report on my experience at the end of the week.

Well I survived my first nitrous experience.  I think it went well.

I didn't have any pain and for the most part didn't realize what was going on around me. 

It took longer than I thought it would to take effect, but once it did, I was flying.

The noise distortion was a little unnerving at first.

It seemed best when I didn't try to make myself so aware of what was going on, and I just relaxed and enjoyed the high.

At time times it seemed the dentist and assistant were talking, but weren't.

And towards the end I had the wierd sensation I was in a video game.  Things were moving fast around me and there was lots of beeping.

Will I do it again?  Definately.

i wonder if anyone ever  from it...

I've read that if you do  , the denstist had the concentration of Nitrous to Oxygen too high.

A 30/70 (nitrous/oxygen) mix is best. 

I was suprised at how fast it wore off without any sort of hangover.

I will always regret having my wisdom teeth taken out with local only.  Ran out partway through the procedure (just in time for the drilling).

Glad it went well DD.  Yes, it does take awhile to take kick in..unfortunately. 

I have a few more visits coming up.  They've already made a note to get the nitrous on me ahead of time!
