Hi. I was gassed as a child when visiting the dentist. I can't remember the exact dates but it must have been for overcrowding extraction after my adult teeth arrived as I'm sure that all my milk teeth came out of their own accord. This was almost certainly for my upper eye teeth as they were emerging a bit like walrus tusks. I thought it was more than one visit but can't think what the other visit might have been for unless they did one side at a time. I was born in 1964 and so I estimate that this could have been during the mid to late 1970s. I don't know if this is region specific but it would have been Surrey/Hants border.
I remember "floating off into space" and into a deep sleep. I had never experienced space flight but I understood the concept of gravity and it seemed like I had none as I floated away. I was not conscious during the operation. I don't know if this was nitrous or some other gas.
My concern is that I might have gone too far under. I have looked it up in a few places to see if there's a scale of unconsciousness ranging from the pleasurable to the dangerous but have found nothing conclusive. Can anyone please shed any light on the following:
1. What gas was I likely to have been given in that region at that time?
2. What would have been the permissible levels of unconsciousness back then?
3. Do current guidelines differ from back then?
4. Did I go too far under?
Thank you.
