I had nitrous twice in my life at the dentist and I agree, it is wonderful. Oddly enough, I could still "feel" the pain and recognize that it was pain. It just didn't connect to whatever part of my brain makes pain unpleasant!
And afterwards, it was so nice to leave the dentist's office feeling all groovy instead of having a dead lip. But I wouldn't have driven a car.
My dentist stopped using it, though. He said he didn't want to be exposed to it constantly, year after year, for decades, and I have to concede his point.
