Petrichor Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 DS 7yo had a couple of cavities filled today, using nitrous oxide (first time). He dealt with it fine, it didn't seem to affect him too much. And 4 hours later, he was laying around refusing to do work because his stomach hurt, cue vomiting. At the 6 hour mark, another ton of vomit. Is this a regular side effect for nitrous oxide? Something I can just deal with and treat and not seek additional medical attention? Or a sign of something being wrong? And of course, it could just be a stomach bug, since it's that time of year and we were feeling like we were about to be sick yesterday.

UCF612 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I remember the dentist telling me that upset stomach could be a side effect for my kids. They never experienced it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerryAtHope Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Did you call? How is he doing today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrichor Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I planned to call the dentist if he was still vomitting in the morning. They do have an emergency number, but he was drinking and eating jello so I decided against calling after hours. He was happy to sit around all morning. I ended up not calling the dentist at all, and he was bouncing off the walls again as soon as he turned off the computer. I'll ask the dentist next time we are there, if I remember. I should write myself a note to do that. Hopefully the experience will impress the importance of good dental hygiene! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrichor Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Yeah, he did, but he's gotten that before too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
