- Hi,
-
- I am now considering using Nitrous Oxide (with novacaine) instead of having
- a general anesthetic for the extraction of my wisdom teeth.
-
- I have had Nitrous Oxide when I was about 8, and seem to recall that I was
- pretty unaware of time passing while using it. Does this seem right?
- (I also had a very convincing sensation of floating.) (By unaware of time
- passing, I mean that I asked the dentist when he was starting as he finished
- up.)
-
- Are there any dangers or complications I should be aware of?
-
