Just tried NO2 for the first time yesterday for a wisdom tooth extraction. Had severe anxiety before the appointment and requested it. Felt great the entire time, not so much giggly but more so I didn’t care what was going on. Would definitely get it again for future dental procedures.

How was recovery? I’m getting mine removed in a few months… idk if I should to anesthesia or this… I don’t like the idea of IV sedation and have grown up with laughing gas… but my biggest worry isn’t the removal itself, but the recovery and I want don’t want to be in too much pain…

I went through a traumatic dental emergency that has left me feeling extremely fearful with a lot of difficulty looking at myself. Laughing gas helped me so much to forget what was going on. At first I did have a bad “dream” as it was just the incident replaying in my head while I was super sleepy from the gas. After I relaxed further it was the only way I got through my first of what may be quite a few visits to fix the trauma. I’m very grateful for it

for me, i started enjoying it after 10 minutes. i was in a dream state, and awake. (this always happens to me btw) when i feel the dream state and being awake, i start to try to wake myself up, but i'm already awake, so i just ask myself "is this real?" i really never laugh or anything after that, i always enjoy my experience somehow, everytime the dentist asks me "would you like laughing gas?" i always say "yes"

[@hollowhills13]

I’ve used nitrous for about 15ish years, maybe a bit more. Without it, the numbing doesn’t work properly. My dentist said I might be so anxious the numbing isnt able to work properly, but I’m not sure about that science haha. I’m autistic, and I’ve recently learned that in your brain, where you process sound is directly over where you process pain. It makes sense why noise is so painful. My guess is the sound of the drill is just so high pitched that once it hit my tooth, it messed my brain up and I thought I was in pain when I wasn’t. At least from the drilling. My dentist is awesome. They turn the nitrous up, let me wear my headphones so I only hear what I want to hear, and I get sunglasses. My last appointment I think I actually fell asleep! Normally I remember the pressure from the poking and prodding after the drilling, but I remember absolutely nothing. Nitrous for the win!

Laughing gas helps so much. Such a vibe with music and if they have a tv on like they did for me.

[@rainyclxoudsoverthehills9330]

Yesterday I had my first laughing gas experience. I was TRIPPING HARD. I was tingling all over, moved like I was SUPER out of balance. I was listening to Kids Bop, of course, I am a child, and I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ANIMATION. The way I was tripping made it seem like EVERYTHING WAS HUGE. The dentist's face looked unreal, and I was closing my eyes because of how relaxed I was. Don't be afraid of laughing gas. I honestly think you trip the hardest during your first experience. The procedure I was having was getting a cap on my tooth. Teeth Talk Girl, why do they take a plastic thing that has a powder mixed with water and put it in your mouth to get a mold of your teeth? I only got one cap, but they molded both top AND bottom.

[@Fuzzysea693]

They take a mould of both top and bottom so they can get an accurate bite for your cap. If the cap was too high you wouldn’t be able to close your mouth all the way; too low and you would have a gap between your top and bottom teeth.

[@Parker-zk4cd]

last time (and all the times before) that i had nitrous oxide at the dentist i freaked out and panicked so bad they had to reschedule everything. it was like someone turned the saturation up all the way and made me hyper aware of everything (especially the scraper, i've got sensory issues so even if i'm numbed the noise alone will cause my teeth and jaw to hurt). let's just say that's most definitely the reason i've got a severe fear of the dentist

I got nitrous before my wisdom tooth surgery cuz I was nervous. They put that thing on my nose and maybe 30 seconds later I started thinking to myself "I must look dumb with this thing on my nose" and I started giggling like an idiot. The surgeon said, "That's pretty good stuff, huh?" I said "Ooooh yea" then I got the whole "count backward from 100" and I don't even remember getting to 98. Then next thing I remember my friend was helping me to the car. I could barely walk on my own. My mouth was all swollen and packed with gauze. All I could taste was blood. What a fun visit!

[@ClintW.666]

I was given NO2 at my last visit to get a root canal, and I discovered at its highest setting combined with the lowest O2 setting (and my completely breathing as deep and as fast as I could because I was freaking out they were drilling a long time, but it didn’t hurt) is the perfect level to feel NOTHING. One moment I was with it, then I lost my sense of hearing except for what was going on right next to me. Music? Gone. Voices were muffled. Tunnel vision and it was getting narrower with every deep breath. Then I couldn’t feel my body at all, super muscle relaxation and my vision was wavy and focus severely diminishing. I realized I was about ready to lose consciousness (of which I didn’t care and actually enjoyed) then my hearing came back and I could start to hear the O2 sensor on my finger beeping. The dentist was calling my name and asking me questions, which slowly came into hearing focus as well. This happened twice during a 2 hour root canal. I can say I didn’t feel any pain at all and my anxiety was self made. The nitrous totally helped, but I will say do not hyperventilate…..it’ll be cool for a moment then you are off to another planet. lol

My experience with Nitrous Oxide is very different than what I have read from others. Mine was just complete amnesia. One moment they put the mask on me, the next moment we're done with the procedure. I was in disbelief when they were telling me they were done. It felt like I had jumped in time, but they told me I was fully alert the whole time and was even talking to them (which I had no memory of). One thing I am worried about is how agreeable you become under it. Like, what if the hygenist or dentists asks me a personal question I don't want to answer?

[@L1ttlef0ot]

If they are a respectable practice, the hygienist/dentist/other staff on premises won’t ask you particularly personal questions that aren’t directly related to your dental care. The most they are permitted to do is small talk (such as: “do you have any pets?” Or “how did work/school go today?” Etc.) They’re supposed to keep things on a professional level with you. If they don’t, immediately look into switching to a different provider if possible. (Source: I work in a dentist office, clerical and dental assisting). You can also have a friend or loved one come back into the exam room with you so they can recount anything that happened while you’re affected by nitrous, since you have a very unusual side effect.

[@MikeHamMan]

So my experience with nitrous only comes from a deep cleaning where they went deep in my gums because I had some tartar build up from skipping the visits since covid, and I have terrible, terrible anxiety. My last visit a few years ago had me going into full panic mode and I had to walk out. This time with the NO2, it was very manageable, still had some stress and white-knuckled a couple of times early, but I was in "la-la" land for the most part, and before I knew it, she was done. I did tell them to give me more because the regular amount wasn't enough (not sure if they just said that to make me feel better, but I told them to crank it up a little bit lol)

I always get it when I go because I'm autistic and have a lot of sensory problems, including with dental work. One time they got it started and then the dentist left for a bit to go do something else. The assistant asked if I wanted the TV on and she turned it on and asked if Spongebob was ok.

Laughing gas is amazing! I’ve had more dental work done than I can count and it always puts my mind at ease. For anyone who is wondering, in Texas, laughing gas for a root canal cost me $103.

Bro, I gotta get 2 of my wisdom teeth removed. I'm scared AF, but hoping the nitrous will get me through without much stress. I love dissociatives so I should be fine.

Should you use the gas if you have just taken 30 valium an hour before ?? Ps: yeah I get anxious at the dentist.

[@carolinebergin4633]

I’m gonna get my wisdom teeth out by the end of the month. They don’t hurt but they have cavities in them and need to come out. I asked if they could supply me with laughing gas instead of knocking me out. I already had a dose of that when I had my root canal treatment. I hadn’t felt that way since I was a kid. Still aware of everything going on around me but didn’t care and felt so carefree. I’m not scared of the blood or pain. I’m scared of the overall experience I’m going to have.

[@Moneyro1996]

Did it hurt?

[@carolinebergin4633]

@@Moneyro1996 yeah it did, but while it did it wasn’t as bad as I thought. During the time they were doing it I was thinking about playing and being with all my friends and family again even the ones who died. In a way they were all right in the room with me which was a beautiful feeling despite the pain.

[@WinterFang2683]

I tried requesting Nitrous Oxide when I was about to have my wisdom teeth pulled and was promptly mocked for asking. They basically told me its for kids only and to suck it up or leave. So I opted to only have the 1 tooth that was in pain pulled that day. I'm going back for the last 3 at a different office soon(its been 6 years) and I'm worried ill get the same treatment if I ask, which sucks because this sounds perfect for me.

[@visoth7791]

I feel ya with this. I'm afraid of pain, and I am also afraid of being mocked. I can't say for sure, but it may have happened to me when I was younger, asking for laughing gas at an appointment. Reading my dentists website, they seem like the kind of dentist that are more than willing to offer it. They seem to pride themselves on a good dentist experience.

[@matthews1338]

You might be going to a not so good dentist. I was given anesthesia to get my wisdom teeth removed last Tuesday. I suggest going to a better dentist and having them refer to you an actual oral surgeon that will give you anesthesia for the wisdom tooth extraction.

[@420chuu]

that’s horrible!

[@originalMP3com247]

Pretty messed up. When I had my wisdom teeth out, the surgeon provided both IV propofol and a nitrous mask. Also a demerol script for later, no questions asked. He was so kind. They had to dig the top two out, so that's prob why. Face swelled up like a chipmunk.

[@samalass466]

I'm 19 and they had no problem with giving it to me. There's no way they should deny you it either.

[@teflo2]

My mother said when a dentist tried to use laughing gas on me when I was about 11 years old, she said I stopped breathing and turned blue. She demanded that the dentist take the mask off me immediately. He then wanted her to sign a release form. She told him where to shove that. I'm going in for gum surgery tomorrow. I'm thinking about passing on the laughing gas because a hygienist said it doesn't work if you are highly anxious. I'm anxious about the laughing gas now because I stopped breathing when I was a kid. Nitrous Oxide isn't for everyone.

[@daleandrews3552]

I experienced it but not in a dental office. I was at this guy's apartment I used to know in New Orleans in the '80's and he had a canister of it. We all passed it around a few times and literally had a GAS! It was as I remember a nice high. But I was already buzzed from alcohol. It just made the high even better!

I had Laughing Gas before. It made Me Giggle! Other Times I felt like I was Floating on a Cloud! The Laughing Gas made me feel great!! 🤣

[@sallyshort7255]

I’ve had it twice. The first time, I was in a comfortable haze right above sleep. I knew it could create a floating sensation. I thought that meant just floating slightly off the chair like in a rocking boat. Oh, no lol! I floated through walls and then a mile up the road and back before going 8 feet up in the air wondering how the tiny dental assistant could reach me way up there. Then I realized I never moved and went back to relaxing. She told me I was at the highest setting, so I made mental note. The second time I had it, I was relaxed but not in the hazy area. I asked for the highest setting, and then after a minute or two, I don’t remember anything till he was done. As far as I’m concerned, I was out 😴. I'm pretty sure my dentist knew it too because of the way he explained things afterwards like I had no idea what had happened. I’m normally terrified of sedation (horrible experience) although hazy relaxation isn’t bad, but I trust my dentist enough that it didn’t scare me when I was waking up and realizing I had more than expected.

I just got back from the consultation. The doctors highly recommend laughing if I don’t decide to use a sedation pill thing. I told them that I hate this kind of stuff and with much more feel comfortable without it. They just kept saying we’ll see how it goes will use it during numbing needles. I told him unless it’s absolutely mandatory. I do not want it and I would be more scared with it. I feel like they’re not taking me seriously when I say this is literally a phobia. I know I’ll probably end up having to get it but I seriously do not want it.

I got a root canal and the dentist used 2 needles. One to numb the area and another bigger one to numb the root I guess. The first one was light pinch, no biggie. The second one hurt like a $%^$%! So much that I jolted and grabbed his hand. He got soooooo pissed at me. Sorry, but it was a natural reaction to severe pain in my skull as I felt the needle hit bone or something. I won't go back to that guy. How is it my fault that he can't do the job right?

I had laughing gas for a tooth extraction once. Never, never again. Never Again! I didn't laugh at all, but instead screamed so loud and cried that the (experienced) dentist said he had never seen the experience go so wrong and thought I was going to pass out. Even when the procedure was over, I was still screaming and crying. A few years later, I was suggested by another dentist to receive laughing gas and it was a definite no. I have never had it since and still, 10 years later, look away at the medical practice that did this procedure. I have yet to be proven on myself that laughing gas can make me laugh. What was a very nervous experience turned out to be petrifying. Never again.
