Re: Laughing Gas Bringing Smiles to More Women in Labor (with video) I remember the dentist giving me that before yanking my wisdom teeth from my head. I asked him why it was called laughing gas. He said that it was very unusually, but maybe a couple of times a year that he'd get a patient that would begin laughing when it was administered.
I've never felt so silly in my life in those unsuccessful attempts to suppress busting out laughing.

Re: Laughing Gas Bringing Smiles to More Women in Labor (with video) I love that stuff at the dentist, never had even used it until I was in my 20's (and I had already had a ton of dental work at that point) It was amazing how relaxed it made me, I really didn't give a crap about what they were doing to me. I request it every time now- LOL
