If you’ve ever had a tooth extracted, or had minor oral surgery, you’re probably familiar with nitrous oxide – commonly referred to as “laughing gas”. The euphoric effects are unmistakable – so too is the sometimes uncontrollable laughter that ensues as the gas is inhaled. As with most gases, there are also some side effects. As Wikipedia notes:
Nitrous oxide is a disassociative drug that can cause analgesia, depersonalization, dizziness, euphoria, sound distortion, and slight hallucinations
Aside from the euphoric capabilities, this sounds like nasty stuff right? Well, don’t tell that to these dental students who show us in these Youtube videos how they spend their time in dental school.
Ok, so maybe dental students don’t spend ALL their time inhaling laughing gas while they should be learning how to take care of patients such as you and me. But, when they do it sure does have quite the entertainment value doesn’t it?
What are your experiences with nitrous oxide(laughing gas)?
