Laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide, is a colorless, non-flammable gas that has been used as an anesthetic for over 150 years. It is commonly used in dentistry to provide relaxation and pain relief during procedures such as fillings, root canals, and tooth extractions.
One common concern among patients is whether or not they can drive after having laughing gas at the dentist. The answer to this question depends on a few factors, including the amount of laughing gas used, the length of the procedure, and the individual's reaction to the gas.
