I have been successfully taking nitrous oxide for most dental procedures from the same dentist for over 20 years. The last 3 visits, I had very little reaction to the gas even when it was turned up as high as it could go. Is it possible to get immuned to it?
 
Our body changes over the years and with it also our ability to apsorb and metabolise food and other substances. I do not know you personally, but factors like gaining weight, smoking, using medications have an affect.
