Nitrous Oxide given in the appropriate concentrations for analgesia is a mild analgesic and would not paralyze anyone. Given in higher concentrations it may produce dysphoria(unpleasant) side affects but still would not paralyze a patient. When given in the operating room with a controlled circuit on an unconcious patient larger concentrations can be used and is very beneicial as a part of multiple agent general anesthestic. In an dental office it is hard to give an concentration that would make a person unconscious. However one of the known side affects is potential amorous feelings it induces in women. We were taught long ago that if you use it on a female never allow yourself to remain unattended. Perception is reality when it comes to patient memory and not worth taking a chance. This creep however has other issues that they don't cover in dental school.
Reminds me, I have a dentist appointment in a couple weeks. Perhaps I should cancel?
You can get this over the counter or...
There was a dentist in my old hometown who used the nitrous to molest young men alone in his office - he would perform oral sex on them, so maybe it doesn't just make women amorous? Just reduces inhibitions in people who are semi-attracted anyway?
I've never had amorous feelings for any of my health care providers but some people do.
I am wondering if all his victims were women.
Just to gross you out....
