No one in my dentist\u2019s office has actually laughed at me, but they really make me feel like I am exaggerating when I say that I need nitrous oxide for my dental cleanings. I have tried to get the cleanings without it and it is way too traumatic. Is it unreasonable for me to ask for nitrous for my cleanings? \u2013 Luca<\/p>\n

Luca \u2013 If you are very nervous about dental cleanings, it is more important for you to have nitrous oxide<\/a> during your cleanings than to avoid the dentist.<\/p>\n

One option is to schedule an appointment with your dentist just to explain the level of your fear. If he or she listens and cooperates, fine. Otherwise, you can schedule consultations with other dentists. You can get recommendations from acquaintances or family members.<\/p>\n

Dental phobia is real. Millions of Americans have it. You will be able to find a dentist who is both gentle and willing to give you nitrous oxide before your cleanings. The goal is to help you maintain good oral health.<\/p>\n

Consider whether or not the emotional stress is worth remaining with a dentist who doesn\u2019t respect your wishes.<\/p>\n
