Did you ever have gas at the Dentist?

A few decades ago I had a dentist who was quite enthusiastic about nitrous oxide. He would offer it for just about any procedure. I had it several times but I didn't really like it very much because I didn't feel like I was getting quite enough oxygen even though he turned the oxygen way up. The gas made me feel quite stoned.

I had gas pretty bad the last time I saw the dentist. My farts were loud, fast, and furious. The stench from my anal heat could've gagged a maggot.

That's the last time I ever have Taco Bell, for lunch, before seeing my dentist!

Yes, once many years ago. Laughing gas. Worked fine, Pain was there, but I didn't care. Female dental assistant played with my stomach area, which helped also!

I had gas when I was young, totally freaked me out, the dentist and nurse held me down in the chair as I wasn't happy there, the dentist was relentless, and soon she had me asleep, I remember waking up in a different room with the dental nurse. Minus four teeth.

Even though i now enjoy anaesthesia roleplay using my equipment in my medical playroom i hated being put under by gas, the smell and the sensation of going under.

Plus waking up feeling like id fell of a building wasnt nice either.

I first had nitrous oxide at the dentist when I was 22 years old.

The assistant asked if I would like to breathe laughing gas.

"What's laughing gas?"

"You breathe the gas and it relaxes you so you hardly notice the dentist working."

"Absolutely. Bring it on."

A few minutes later, I opened my eyes. I felt like the ceiling was spinning and so was my stomach. I pointed at the nose mask and grunted something to the assistant.

"Maybe I should turn this down a little." And she did.

I still felt a buzz but not the swimming.

"Would you like headphones with some music?"

"Wow! Of course!"

After my first nitrous oxide experience, I learned to embrace the spinning feeling as being out of it so much that I didn't care what the dentist did inside my mouth. I learned to enjoy the feeling of being somewhat out of it, flying high as the dentist and his assistant worked away. When I felt myself becoming clear-headed, I felt sad that the ride was over. Now, I even have laughing gas when the hygienist cleans my teeth. Any excuse to have the nitrous.

Oh, and at my current dentist, the entire office knows to turn it up to the maximum allowable setting because that works for me.

I have had gas at my dentist many times. To get the most enjoyment I recommend doing gas at a Grateful Dead concert.

I never had it.

I’m planing to (finally) get rid of my impacted wisdom teeth and I was looking for a clinic which offers to do it with nitrous oxide, but unfortunately in my country it seems to be impossible. In my city there are maybe two dentists who use laughing gas but they are not oral surgeons, only dentists specializing in younger patients.

Also I don’t know anyone who had gas at any kind of dental treatment, so I guess it just is something unique here.

Yes! It was Sodium pentothal. I don’t think it is used anymore., it was 55 years ago. However it was GREAT 😃. When I “ came out of it” I was so Horney that I wanted to screw every woman in the Dr’s office😃!!!

I have received and given dental gas.

Gas for fillings and wisdom teeth removal

Have an appointment in late September for one hour. An old 40+ year old silver filling has some decay underneath. May or may not need a crown. Hoping it does not need as the tooth is not broken and a crown is expensive. I did have it noted in my records a while back to have nitrous along with the injection. In the past nitrous was stopped after the injection but these days I would prefer it for the duration of the procedure.

We used to use medical grade nitrous for racing we would tip 100 pound tanks upside down to refill our smaller bottles now we use industrial that smells bad so humans dont recreate with it

Yes they add Sulfur Dioxide to "denature" it like they do with denatured alcohol to keep people from abusing it.

Yes.

Ever since I chose my own dentist as an adult, I have gotten the nitrous oxide for anything and everything at the dentist's office: Shots, drilling, filling, root canals, crowns, cleanings, and even when I pay the bill. Hey, wait, especially when I pay the bill--that is painful, too. Actually, I get the nitrous oxide anytime the dentist or the hygienist does anything in my mouth, but I was just kidding about getting it when I pay the bill.

I love the feeling of the gas taking over and numbing my mind so I can zone out and mentally go in the other room while they work on my mouth in the dental chair. I make sure to also have headphones with music to drown out the drilling and/or scraping.

As a child up through age 20, I went to Dr. McKay who was a friend of my parents. They didn't pick him because he was good or nice or anything based on merit. They just knew who he was.

I was terrified of Dr. McKay. He was grumpy and mean and would threaten, “You better brush better and floss or I won’t use any Novocain next time I drill.” Yikes! Don't say that to a child.

The chair was a hard, plastic, uncomfortable thing and he never had an assistant so as he drilled, the air filled with dust from his drilling. It smelled like burning flesh and I choked on the fragments and debris that flew around in my mouth. Every 10 minutes, when my mouth was filled with a ton of gunk and I was gagging so much that he couldn’t work anymore, Dr. McKay would stop the drilling, spray a little water in my mouth, and grunt, “Turn your head and spit.”

I would turn my head and attempt to spit the rubble from my mouth into a white, porcelain bowl that was swirling with water, much like a toilet flushing. Yuck. It was up too high for a child and, of course, with a numb tongue, I could only spew maybe half the chunks and grit and I would be left with spittle dribbling down my chin.

It was horrible going to Dr. McKay as a child and I have hated going to go to the dentist ever since. And Dr. McKay never used nitrous oxide gas.

However, when I was 22 years old, I had my own dental insurance and I asked a co-worker for a recommendation for a dentist.

A few weeks later, I had an entirely new, life-changing dental experience involving nitrous oxide gas and I have used the gas ever since, but I still hate going to the dentist, but the gas helps me tolerate it.

A cute, young girl said she was the dental assistant and she would be working with the dentist to make sure I was comfortable. Instead of a hard, uncomfortable upright dental chair, she laid me back on a soft, comfortable, horizontal cushy recliner.

“Would you like laughing gas?” she asked

“What’s laughing gas?”

“It makes you a little loopy to take the edge off of the drilling.”

“Are you kidding me? You can make me high so I don’t even care about the shots and the drilling and the fingers in my mouth? Bring it on, baby!!”

“Would you like headphones and your choice of music so you won’t even hear the drilling?”

“You mean, mentally I can be in a happy place in the other room while you take care of my dental work in this room. Duh! Sign me up!!”

“Is there anything else I can get for you, Mr. Jones?”

“How about an enema?”

“Oh, of course. Just roll over onto your left side. That’s good. Now, lower your pants and underwear so I can have easy access to, oh, my, your very cute bottom. That’s perfect. Now, I’m going to work my lubricated finger into your bottom hole and spread the lubricant around so it’s easier to insert the nozzle. Do you mind me doing this to you, Mr. Jones?”

“Are you kidding? I’ll give you 20 minutes to stop doing it.”

Wait. Sorry. Scratch the enema part. That was just my daydreaming under the influence of the nitrous oxide.

Back to reality.

So, this cute young lass hooked me up to the nitrous oxide and the music and a few minutes later I floated up, out, and away from the building and, apparently, while I was gone, the dentist drilled and filled and polished my teeth.

And while the dentist did his thing, the pretty young lady stayed and sprayed water on the teeth and suctioned everything off during the drilling so there was no dust in the air and there was no smell of burning flesh.

Perhaps an hour later, although it could have been days since I had no concept of time while I was enjoying the nitrous oxide, I found myself looking up into the eyes of the cute little assistant

“How are you feeling, Mr. Jones?”

“Great! When is the dentist going to start?”

“Oh, silly. He’s already done. I just have you breathing oxygen to clear out the laughing gas.”

“Wow! Amazing! I didn’t feel or notice a thing.”

I was surprised, amazed, astonished, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, stunned, and gob smacked that the entire dental experience was pleasant and pain-free compared to the countless number of terrifying experiences in the dental chair during my childhood in the 1960s and 70s. Wow! What a change and what an improvement!

So, yes, emphatically yes, I have had nitrous oxide gas at the dentist and will continue to do so.

(Yeah, I know that surprised, amazed, astonished, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, stunned, and gob smacked are pretty much the same thing but I wanted to really emphasize how great I felt).

FYI bonus info…

Did you know that the propellant in the whipped cream in a can is nitrous oxide? Yup. It’s printed right there on the can in very small print along with the ingredients.

I’ve gotten gas a couple of times now. I’ve never been fully put to sleep but there was one of the bigger appointments when I had several fillings to take care of that they gave me enough gas that I was way out of it. Genuinely don’t think I could tell you what they did because I was in and out the whole time. I remember the beginning of the appointment- getting the mask on my nose, the numbing jelly and then the shots, but after they left me to sit and get numb it’s just bits and pieces of memories. Them telling me to open and putting the mouth prop in, occasionally being asked if I felt anything or if I could bite down for them, the feeling of the floss moving across the corner of my mouth. I may as well have just been put to sleep, don’t really know why they didn’t put me fully to sleep with how out of it I was.
