hi kimbo1348,
Depending on the concentration and length of administration of laughing gas(nitrous oxide and oxygen) four levels of sedation can be experienced (after an initial feeling of light-headedness):
1.tingling sensation, especially in the arms and legs quickly followed by warm sensations, and a feeling of well-being.
2.During heavier sedation, hearing may dissolve into a constant, electronic-like throbbing.
3.At a deeper level of sedation again, sleepiness, difficulty to keep one’s eyes open or speak (“dream”) can occur. Should nausea set in, it means you’re definitely oversedated.take care
thank you

Hello,
Adverse drug reaction can occur with local anesthesia. Excess dosage of anesthesia, rapid absorption etc can lead to severe adverse reaction involving central nervous system and heart. Nervousness, lethargy, dizziness, sickness can occur because of allergic reaction. Adverse drug reaction with local anesthesia can be fatal.You can visit a physician for evaluation. Before getting any dental procedure done, tell your dentist about the symptoms which you experienced with anesthesia. Local anesthesia allergy testing can be done to know whether patient is allergic to particular anesthesia or not.

hello and welcome to hcm forum ,
i am glad you wrote in your query, i would like to inform you that such a reaction following local anesthesia is quite common, its called 'syncope'(fainting).
it usually occurs if the patient is apprehensive before the dental treatment or is empty stomach.
but do not worry your dentist managed it well,
just make sure to be calm and eat your meal atleast half an hour before the dental appointment.
i hope i answered your query,
i wish you good health.
take care.
