Did you ever have gas at the Dentist?

Who on here got put to sleep with gas?

Yeah. He told me to stop farting

Not me just nitrious to get me floating

Twice but not to sleep. Wish I could have it more often when I have needed crown procedures but my dentist prefers just the Novocain.

My wife had her wisdom teeth pulled when she was 19 and they talked her into gas because it would hurt so much to do all four at the same time.

the day of the extraction she wore a super short skirt and button front blouse. it was hot august. i soo wish there had been hidden video of that.

I had it once. I hated everything about it including the bad dream I had while under.

I had gas at the dentist at about age 10 and had some teeth extracted and after I was terribly ill with nausea, I had to be carried from the dentists by my father and completely lost control of my bowels. For years after I hated going to the dentist.

When I was in high school. Father came with me to the dentist. I came to swearing and swinging. Nearly caught my father with a right hook. Last time I had gas. Last time my father took me to the dentist too. 😃

Not gas but Valium ( or similar)for anything other than extraction. If a tooth needs to come out I am under full anesthesia as my anxiety hits the roof

Gas is a great high when safely done by a pro. Got me through many a procedure. Got it for a cleaning.

Know of a kid who accidently died - sad

Me too, its a massive turn on! I had a girlfriend who looked like a supermodel who got put to sleep with gas, and she used to tell me about it:

I’ve never had gas at the dentist.

@SDC59 – thats hot. my gf wasnt a super model, but she had killer legs. which i hope her dentist enjoyed while she was out.

I’ve had gas, nitrous, at the dentist on a few occasions. I’ve never been put to sleep with gas, though, it’s just made me relaxed, I felt kind of floaty and tingly.

I got it a lot as a child at my pediatric dentist (just enough to make me loopy) because my baby teeth largely didn't fall out on their own, and I'd also get it there if I had cavities. I needed a lot of fillings in college, and always got gas from that dentist as well, but as I've gotten older (and moved around the US some) it has become more difficult to find dentists who use it. My current dentist said they used when I first started going to them but when I got a cavity a couple years later and went in they said they had stopped.

I had nitrous oxide for two wisdom teeth extractions many years ago. It was not my favorite time at the dentist, but it beat the ether induction I had for a tonsillectomy at age 4 or 5.

Way way back in the late 1950's I once had gas for a tooth extraction. My father took me to the dentist instead of my mother which was the usual procedure. That already made it unsettling. I remember the dentist making a big fuss over having me urinate right before applying the gas because apparently some patients lost bladder control while under. I found that very insulting of him.

Aside from that, the mask smelled funny and the gas gave a funny floating feeling, but the extraction was painless. Even so, afterwards just hearing about being put under with gas gave me the heebie-jeebies. It still unsettles and sort of scares me. Perhaps something to do with young kids talking about executions by gas or the awful goings-on in extermination camps during WWII.

Yes almost killed me i was 7 docs hadn't told my mother that i could not have dental work done wile on predisalone especially gas to have teeth removed hour after leaving dentist i was rushed to hospital

I had lots of gas anaesthetics when younger, at the dentist and in hospital. I was always strapped into the dental chair with belt and buckle as well as having a rubber bung put into my mouth to keep my jaws from closing. The gas was nice.

For removing the root tips from broken teeth and installing the abutments for implants, it was iv twilight sedation. The rest of the work (Full mouth reconstruction) was Valium sedation.

I remember getting the gas several times. I always knew I'd be getting gas as mom would call the ‘nurse’ who would look at my chart, tell mom what I'd likely need done and if she thought I'd be getting gas tell mom to give me an enema before we arrived. I remember going into the waiting room which was in an older office building, the rugs and couch and chairs and table lamps making it look like a living room, and the nurse, Miss ???, asking mom if I'd had an enema. Mom would tell her she'd given me a good enema and the nurse would say that was good just in case I was given gas.

When I was in the chair it would be the nurse who would sit on a stool beside me to do it. The dentist would always go off to work on another patient. The nurse would take my hand and ask in a quiet voice, ‘did your mom give you an enema before you came?’ I'd say ‘yes’ and she'd say that was good as she was going to give me a little gas and the gas would make me relax and that could lead to an accident if I'd not had the enema. She'd also tell me that it would likely be a good thing for me to have another enema at bedtime. “Will you remember to ask your mother for an enema or would you like me to tell her?” Then she'd hold up the rubber mask and say she was going to put it on my face and then she'd turn on the gas. “I'll tell you when the gas is started and I want you to take a couple of deep breaths in. Will you do that for me?” I'd say yes and she'd place the mask gently on my face and say, “Alright, take a deep breath for me, breathe in …. and again …..”

The next thing I knew she'd be sitting beside me rubbing my hand and telling me it was all over, the dentist had finished the filling, whatever it was he was doing. “In a few minutes you'll be ready to go home. I'll tell your mother about giving you an enema at bedtime, but I want you to remember to remind her. Will you do that for me? Remind her?” I'd reluctantly agree to remind mom to give me an enema and the nurse would smile.

This nurse was an older lady, but I think not married as she was Miss Something. At one point she was replaced by a younger nurse who also gassed me several times. Another story for another day.

To this day I've no idea why the enemas with the gassing except for what the nurse said about relaxing and an accident. I suppose possible but I've not heard of others getting enemas with gas. It certainly was part of the routine at Dr. Downs office though.

I was given gas once at the dentist prior to a tooth extraction. I was still pretty young, 8 or 9 I think. There was no mention or at least I had no recollection of getting an enema, which was not something done in our house anyway.

However I was taken by an assistant/nurse to the toilets to make sure my bladder was empty. Don't remember the exact words she and the dentist used, but I felt embarrassed and a bit insulted that they thought I would pee my pants. They made me feel like they were treating me as a baby. Hated that big time.

I got gas once as an adult, kinda enjoyed it. Remember asking the dentist if I could take some home with me! He didn’t think it funny!

I was never offered laughing gas, although I wish I could have been. I’m pretty nervous in real medical or dental settings. I don’t know if my dentist just didn’t offer the gas, if insurance didn’t cover it, or if my parents just wouldn’t let me get it.

Is it possible to get laughing gas for routine exams and cleanings, and if so, even if you’re an adult?

Yep. Just call around with the dentists in your area. Let them know you're a nervous patient and are looking for nitrous at routine appointments. They'll let you know if they can accommodate.

Last summer I had to have another crown done and when I made the appointment I finally asked if they still offer nitrous. I was told they did and I mentioned how the injection is the one part of the procedure that really wants to send me through the ceiling. So they said it was no problem and they would arrange for it at my appointment. So at the appointment, and the subsequent appoint to install the crown, I had it to start and I did find the injection less jarring and I was able to tolerate it better. Just hope I do not need any more dental work beyond routine cleanings but I know that with age the odds are not with me.

Never had gas at the dentist. I was always careful what I ate the 24 hours prior.

I’ll be honest, nitrous oxide is one of my favorite “substances”. I love the way it makes you feel. I haven’t had it in years and years, but it sure was lovely while it lasted.

Growing up, my teeth did all kinds of crazy things, like not falling out when they were suppose to. So, the dentist would pull them for me. Gas time! And I didn’t mind the huge needle that they used to inject the numbing agent since I’ve always been on nice terms with pain.

Laughing gas was a trip. The dentist had this painting in front of me that had Chinese guys in a canoe type vessel that the guys were loading. Those little guys would move around. It was awesome! Also, it would feel like my arms and legs would turn around and around and around the arm of the dental chair and the leg rest. I guess you could say, that besides caffeine, laughing gas was my first drug experience.

As an adult, I did have to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed at the same time. They put me under gas for that and they also gave me nitrous. They gave me nitrous first and a Valium. Then the nurse switched over to the “real” stuff and started counting back wards. The next thing I remember I was awake with a mouth full of gauze asking for my teeth to be put in a bag and not thrown away. That they were to be given to my husband. I was kind of belligerent about it too.

I had 100 pound cylinders of nitrous we used it for racing it would make us all laugh when we were refilling smaller bottles

I had nitrous several times in high school for dental work. Loved it. I didn't need to have Novocain. It doesn't seem like dentists use it anymore (I've asked). I may, or may not, have used whippets on occasion lol.
