Hippie Crack From a Dentist

Before I went in to have my wisdom teeth removed I was very excited about my forthcoming nitrous experience. The only other time I had recieved nitrous was for the removal of my 12year molars and I was looking forward to getting it again.

The dose this time was somewhat more than what I recieved for my 12yaer molar removal as the surgery was more intensive and I had all four wisdom teeth removed.

When the doctor first began the procedure I recieved nitrous oxide before the injection of novicaine into my gums. The intial reaction was one of relaxation and euphoria. This relaxation broadened into uncontrollable fits of laughter and a nice analgesic effect.

The nitrous was then cut off and I was left to wait for the novacine to take hold.

I then recieved more nitrous for about 5 minutes prior to the procedure and throughout. After I took a few deep breathes I began to feel extreme analgesic effects as if my whole body was completely numb. I also was thrown into fits of laughter that lasted for 30-40 seconds.

As he began to cut out my teeth the laughter subsided and I was moved into a dream-like state similar to what I experienced the first time I smoked opium with hash.

I was aware of my eyes fluttering and an extreme internal awareness. This interal awareness was somewhat distracted by the fact that teeth were being forcably pulled out of my mouth.

Then before I knew it he was finished with the procedure and I was able to leave.

For about an hour afterwards I felt groggy and unable to concentrate, but all in all a good experience.

I look forward to doing nitrous again without oral surgery being a component
