Are There Any Side Effects To Nitrous Oxide?

Q.
hi my name is i have been going to my dentist for 15 years when i get cavities done they have to put me to sleep and the sedation was not helping me to be put to sleep my parents didn’t want him to put more anaestheitc in me so they used laughing gas on me and they didn’t tell me I need to know if laughing gas is safe? i heard on the internet that it makes you act crazy and makes you do strange things i have never had laughing gas this is the first time that they used laughing gas on me and believe me i felt very strange and weird at the same time, are there severe side effects to laughing gas? i need advice my dentist works with aduts and chidlren with speical needs and its important to me for him to tell me before my procedure so that i can understand.

Hello, thanks for your question, it’s definitely an important one and it’s good that you are taking an active interest in the safety of techniques. I can tell you that laughing gas or nitrous oxide is safe if administered by an experienced dentist and it sounds as though your dentist is, so I would not worry.
