re: OT Dentists - Over-diagnosing cavities

Probably 40-50% of my, patients used nitrous. A lot of people have anxiety about dental treatment, and I think men tend to be worse than women. No dentist should look at you differently for requesting nitrous. I would much rather work on an anxious patient with nitrous - it just made my job easier. Watch they don't charge you out the arse for it - it's not that expensive. For around 15 years my office didn't charge for it. After costs rose over the years, we started charging around $10 for it.
