Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I refused to do this with my children. What upsets me the most, is that I have had every dentist tell me to go elsewhere if they can't "put my kid under". When I tell the dentist how I don't think fluoride, mercury and nitrous are safe for special needs kids, they tell me that they have years of experience and to go elsewhere. I did. I only wish years of experience meant something to me, but it means very little. One of mine had nitrous and was completely blind for 5 minutes from it. The doctor and her staff completely ignored his screaming that he couldn't see. She had years of experience too, and learned to ignore children with her years of experience. My son's eyesight returned on it's own, but when I went home and Googled, I found that some people become completely, permanently blind from routine dental nitrous. Shockingly, they use it every day, and from what I have seen, ignore the fact that side effects happen, even when the patients tell them so. On the autism recovery forums, there are many posts of parents claiming nitrous anesthesia either made their children's autism symptoms way worse or that they developed them from the nitrous anesthesia. Down Syndrome children seem to also be vulnerable to the nitrous.
