Ugh. One of the few things that scares me is going to the dentist. If that's better than being at home with the sprogs then her house must be like Dante's Inferno.
(Actually dreading going back to the dentist as it looks as though I'll have to get my wisdom teeth pulled. I read through the procedure online and that's made it worse. A needle right in the gums... :bawl)

As far as the 'Nitrous' gas - oddly enough in this area (US) - it's hard to find this. You literally have to hunt for a Dentist that uses it. I don't know why? Must be some regional thing. For myself - this stuff did not do SHIT. NOTHING. I may as well have inhaled plain old air. It did - NOTHING AT ALL.

But you have to give this woman credit for getting dental care at all. Some of the breeder coworker women I worked with had bad teeth and unbearable breath and they said they got their kids dental care because "when you have a child, the child comes first" and so I had to smell their horrible breath. Brings up what I always say but dare not, if you cannot afford dental care for yourself, why are you having kids?

This well-known tale asserts that for every child a woman has, she is bound to lose a tooth, mostly because of how hormonal changes during pregnancy affect oral health. While there may not be a one-to-one ratio between the number of children a woman has and the number of teeth she loses, studies have actually found a link between pregnancy and dental issues.

I'm going to ditto Cambion. You might have to pay that part out-of-pocket, but definitely get yourself knocked out for the procedure. The dentists use some good stuff. I don't even remember the first hour after leaving the dentist's office, Dh said that I sang off-key, told myself some jokes and laughed, argued with him about getting a milk shake from McDonald's, then keeled over in the seat.

There is a type of sedation that isn't general but several steps above local Novocaine. A midazolam IV in the arm will leave you going WTF happened as well as general, but there is no need for the monitoring your your breathing.
I had this when I had four wisdoms yanked at once. I remember waking up telling the dentist and Mom that I was watching dancing hippos.

Wisdom teeth removal: the recovery is worse than the surgery. I sobbed like crazy when I came to and then looked like a bruised chipmunk for over a week.
