Yes. I'm actually going to a new dentist tomorrow. I had a frustrating experience with my previous one the last time I had work done, and I don't want to repeat THAT anxiety.

The new place offers nitrous as well as the "one pill" sedation. I'll probably be fine without anything, but if there's really no down side, I don't see why not try it. If it helps with the anxiety, I'd be all for that.

I like the gas. It's actually kind of fun. When it's over, you recover quickly, unlike a pill. Hoyt Aug 2014 #6
