[QUOTE="Suz, post: 343502, member: 29"] Nitrous oxide made me severly claustrophobic. I tried it once and never again. Andy, I completely understand your son's anxiety- for me it wasn't the gas, it was feeling trapped by the mask. For years the periodontist had to use novacaine when I was getting my teeth cleaned, then another dentist prescribed a miracle toothpaste (plus cleanings every 3 months) that has made all the difference. No nitrous. No novacaine. Another tip--- there is novacaine with- and WITHOUT- adrenaline. I didn't know that until I was well into my 30's. That adrenaline "rush" had me going through the roof but I just figured it was "dentist anxiety." Once I knew to ask for the kind without adrenaline I didn't get the heartbeat "rush" and it was much better. GN, I'm so pleased for you that you are nurturing yourself. You go, girl! :toast: Suz [/QUOTE]
