Ugh, in a few short hours (8am Wednesday) I'll be under the nitrous gas at the dentist. I really hope I don't get loopier than absolutely necessary, as I *do* need to go to lab today/tomorrow.
As to what I'm getting done, well just a simple teeth cleaning.
Why nitrous for a silly cleaning, you may ask? Because of this. (Scroll down to see the article.)
Hey, not ALL my genes could be great. :D

Dumb question, probably, but why do you need anesthetic at all for just a cleaning? I've never heard of that before. (But maybe all my dentists have just sucked...)
Since I haven't had a cleaning (or anything) in 5 years, my gums are REALLY sensitive, and I couldn't sit still without it.
I recently had a filling replaced with no anasthetic. I see it as a trade-off: 5 minutes of pain vs. 4 hours of drooling.
It's time for an expose on the poor health benefits received by many grad students.
"5 minutes of pain vs. 4 hours of drooling"
I'll take the drooling, thanks!
Phew, thank god thats over. The nitrous was terrible! I felt like I was having a panic attack and couldn't breathe and yanked the thing off. Thankfully I have a very understanding and nice dentist who calmed me down. Although it was a very surreal experience listening to Kenny G all messed up.
Maybe i should just get dentures. :P
Congratulations on your recent graduation to FCD.

A happy day indeed.
