Can I go to work after having dental work performed using nitrous oxide?

The dentists office is closed - some people say you cant, some say you can so I am just wondering if I will need to have someone pick me up or not.

Yes, you can drive!! you breath in oxygen after the procedure and you are back to normal in no time!! Absolutely nothing to worry about! Have fun! LOL

You have some paperwork from the office with you, and somebody had to drive you home. Ask your driver what the Doctor's instructions where.

If you just had nitrous oxide and local anesthesia, yes you are fine. Once you breathe 100% oxygen for a few minutes you are back to norm.
