36. Never have tried nitrous. I have weird reactions to meds sometimes, so I stick with the tried and true.

Thanks so much for the information. If I have to go anywhere else I'll keep it in mind! I have a great dentist now, and she knows how to keep me occupied during procedures. She keeps up a funny, informative patter the whole time so I don't have time to think about anything else. She has a dental assistant named Sharon that manages to hold my hand when things are really scary--all while assisting! It's just the waiting time at home before the dental procedures that's the worst. Too much time to think about it! Thanks again for your kind suggestion, I wish I had one for you in return!
