Ok, I had to have some dental work done the last few years. three times I have went with headaches and three times I came out with NO headaches! I figure it was the gas (laughing gas or medical Nitrous Oxide or what ever they give you. I am sure it was the relaxation of the gas that got rid of my headache's.
I am wondering if anybody else has experienced this? And anybody with medical knowledge would think this could be a treatment for use when we have severe headache's? I would think it would be less risky than injections when you have to visit the hospital?
I do know I did not have any noticable after effect when I came down off the gas and my headache was gone, not even a after effect from the headache which I usually experience after having a severe headache or migraine. As far as I know the gas has no after effect or at least it didn't on me. Any opinions? or thoughts???

Wow, interesting observation.
Sorry I don't have the ansewr, but I for one would ask the denstist if you can return every time you have a brainwreck headache to help you out.
Maybe your dentist would be interested in opening up a side business similar to those "oxygen" bars.

That is an interesting observation. Usually I get the headache upon arrival at the dentist! :o
Having lots of people walking around under the effects of laughing gas probably wouldn't be a bad thing. Maybe then everyone would play nice.

I participate in another site for people with cluster headaches and a lot of them use oxygen for their headaches. The O2 in the nitrous oxide probably took care of your headache.
