As a kid, I was given nitrous most of the time, but not since I was 12 or so. However, I recently had to have it, and it really did help. It's tough to numb my lower jaw, but I needed a filling. Eight shots and 45 minutes later, I still wasn't numb, and was extremely jumpy at the thought of them still working on a tooth which felt pain as if no anesthetic had been given at all. They had given me the "maximum allowable dosage" of anesthetic shots, so they suggested the nitrous. Insurance didn't cover it, of course, and I could still feel the pain, but I rode through it and was able to focus on other things until it was over. So, I still think it's good to have around, but I also wouldn't give it to kids in a "fun" way. It's medicine; don't candy-coat it or it confuses them.

From one of Davy's nitrous poems: Not in the ideal dreams of wild desire Have I beheld a rapture-wakening form: My bosom burns with no unhallow'd fire, Yet is my cheek with rosy blushes warm; Yet are my eyes with sparkling lustre fill'd; Yet is my mouth replete with murmuring sound; Yet are my limbs with inward transport fill'd; And clad with new-born mightiness around. Top that, post-millennial nitrous-addict children! Wow, like Humphry Davy in his later years, only for kids!

From one of Davy’s nitrous poems:

Not in the ideal dreams of wild desire
Have I beheld a rapture-wakening form:
My bosom burns with no unhallow’d fire,
Yet is my cheek with rosy blushes warm;
Yet are my eyes with sparkling lustre fill’d;
Yet is my mouth replete with murmuring sound;
Yet are my limbs with inward transport fill’d;
And clad with new-born mightiness around.

Top that, post-millennial nitrous-addict children!

I've never tried it. But I have some tips: Don't eat sugary things, and if you do, brush your teeth soon afterwards. Don't grind your teeth, and if you do, wear a rubber mouthguard thing (besides, they're sexy). Feel happy around needles - they're fun. In the right hands. And chill out. My dental deal is this: I'll put up with anything, but if you fail to suck out the gagging spit, I'm comin' for ya. But this THING! Paedobare. Jesus, in excelsior. I'm not pleased - this goes with Obecalp pills. My wife just gave birth, and was more irritated by the nitrous than assisted. I’ve never tried it.

Also, curiously -- in Ontario Canada, serious dental surgery such as complex wisdom teeth removal is done under general anesthetic, like any other surgery. This is bad news if anesthesia makes you puke right after. Watch for future game ‘addicts’ who need to play games to sleep.

I actually had a couple out of body experiences. My son though has panicked a bit before. The last time they told him they were going to play a game and see how far up the tube he could blow the little ball. He lasted two puffs.

When I got two wisdom teeth pulled last year I asked about nitrous and my dentist said he got rid of the tanks years ago and doesn't think anyone is using it(at least in New Zealand). I'm glad there wasn't any, I got a local anaesthetic and he pulled out my teeth in less than 3 minutes and I was up and walking about straight after. I question the need for nitrous at all.

Then it'd be like those gamesets in that one episode of Star Trek TNG. Also, somebody's gotta pick up 10 of these and a bunch of consoles and start a pedisedate theme camp at Burning Man.
