A member asked:
What are the effects of nitrous oxide like? dentist suggested it for wisdom teeth removal. had it once yrs ago & only remember my legs feeling heavy.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely the same: Although it serves as an anesthesia, the effects vary from one to another. I suspect that you will likely have the same effects you experienced years ago.
