Dental patients were REALLY happy about this accidental discovery and experienced no side effects as per the IJ.

I have a lot of patients that really appreciate nitrous... I'm sure they are very grateful for Horace Wells' discovery. I wonder why in hygiene school at LLU they didn't connect these events together? ;) vivian Flyinglady Registered user Username: Flyinglady Post Number: 9550 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, December 25, 2011 - 9:32 pm:        Vivian, LOL!!!
