[Homer Simpson]Mmmmmm......Nitrous......[/Homer Simpson]



nitrous is ok... but unfortionately it goes much too quickly to be really fun... its like going from sober to shit-faced in 10 seconds. its just not as much fun as people make it out to be, IMHO

Okay, you got me. I read the title of the thread and who is was, and I thought, oh poor Ed. After every thing he's been through. Now he's at the dentist. Then when I read how you deal with it. Good for you. My hero.

I asked a dentist for nitrous for the first time awhile back and asked what it felt like, he told me I would feel like I had a few drinks and all's I could say was, Dude, I DID just have a few drinks:$, and he had no response:S

Nice job of dealing with that situation!

I had a quadruple tertiary-molar extraction done under local anesthesia (I could have been intravenously sedated, but I had to drive myself home). This first involved 15 to 20 shots in the mouth, two of which had to be through the soft palette (can't be numbed before the shots :)). One of the said molars (#17) was even laterally impacted into the mandible.

I had an absolute blast throughout the procedure. I'd seen this surgeon do procedures before (highschool best-friend's dad was the surgeon) so I just kept imagining exactly what he was doing.

The best part were the sounds and visuals: Hearing/feeling the bone-sawing bit grinding through the center of my lower molars, then feeling the surgeon slide the elevator under the tooth to pry upwards...which was met soon afterwards by a resounding CRACK when the tooth broke in half.

Seeing the assistant remove pulpy masses of what where teeth was amazing. That and the big-bore super-Mr. Sucky which was chugging blood and tissue out of my mouth. I was giggling the whole time (well, as much as is possible with a bite block in my mouth).

Ah, good times.

Well, I go in first thing in the morning to complete the root canal, anyone wanna toss a couple scenario's out here that I can work on in my head while Im ignoring the prodding and jamming of sharp objects into my tooth?

I worked out of some easy, basic malfunctions in my mind while I was sitting in the dentist chair last time.

Ok, your packjob has gown awry. Your right brake line has looped it self through it's self. The opening is fine, but it finally opens into a hard spinning mal. What do you do?
