...im getting my teeth pulled..the 2 like first molars...i uess im getting laughing gas and a shot...umm what do they use and does it hurt can someone like tell me these things lol im sooo nervous and i just need to know whats going on....thanks sooo much =)

haha this is a perfect question because i had the same exact thing done! [but i had 4 molars pulled]. well for where i went, they sit you down in a seperate area and they tell you what's going to happen. [the procedure]. they put a mask over your nose that has oxygen in it first, then they slowly add the laughing gas into it. laughing gas does NOT hurt- it's just kinda weird. anyways, they give you the shot to numb your gums, and because the laughing gas is making you a little bit drowsy, the shot is no big deal. the shot makes it all numb and when they pull out the teeth (depending if there are roots or not) it shouldnt cause too much pain- just a little pressure. the more of the root they have to get out- the more pressure. the nice thing about laughing gas is that your all funny feeling but still able to respond if the dentist asks you anything. when i had laughing gas, if you felt uncomfortable with the gas at any time, you just needed to breath through your mouth and everything will be back to normal. [its kind of hard to explain what it feels like... i guess you could say a dreamy kind of feeling]. i was extremely nervous as you are too, but once its over with, you'll be like... "hey! it's overwith now!" lol BIG HELPFUL HINT: TAKE TYLANOL BEFORE AND AFTER THE PROCEDURE. and be ready to not be able to talk for an hour afterwords because you'll have gause in your mouth (the soft padded things to get the blood). good luck! and dont be nervous, you'll be fine! =] -ask_anything
ps: if you have any more questions about it, ill be glad to answer them- just leave one in my inbox!

Edit: when you breath through your mouth [if the laughing gas gets uncomfortable] you get the oxygen back in your system and instantly you come out of the dreamy state. You won't have the effects of laughing gas until you breath through your nose again.
