Is gas anestheisa bad for you ?

Question

i ended up at the dentist today .. i am very afraid and havnt been in 2 years and had to have some dental work done.. I ended up having laughing gas... and when I got home I took a nap and had very vivid nightmares...is this normal ? I am from the UK and growing up they always used sleeping gas .. wihch i had a few times (though that was banned a few years ago from the dental practice)

I have to go back to the dentist on Monday for more work done.. and more nitrous.. but im a little concerned.

Answer 1

you will be fine. we use it all the time in the operating room. it is normal to be sleepy and have weird dreams after getting gassed. enjoy!
