(56 posts)I hate when they ask all kinds of questions about my blood presser.
My dentist should already know its high.

(46,179 posts)After cringing, itching, and twitching through the gum check, the technician offered me nitrous oxide, which, in 53 years, I'd never had. I didn't even know they used it anymore. I accepted. She said it would relax me, "like a glass of wine or two."
I don't know about that. It relaxed me enough that I was able to clench up all my muscles and hold still for the cleaning. I noticed that my back was more relaxed than usual, and that I had a greater range of motion than usual, when we were done.
I didn't feel like I'd had a glass of wine or two until I got out to the car, though, and decided not to run all the errands I'd planned.
I hope yours went smoothly and you heal in comfort.
