When the Dentist Gives You Nitrous Oxide

[bouv]

I never got nitrous. I probably had five or six cavity fillings as a kid, and I always, always, got a large needle stuck in my mouth (I’m assuming it was lidocaine or some variant thereof.)

I feel like I missed out on something cool.

I’ve experienced the sounds, too, particularly when I’ve [del]done whippits[/del] accidentally misused N2O cartridges intended for culinary use. I believe the scientific term is phlanging (not sure on the spelling).

There is indeed an audio effect called flanging; you’d have to listen to examples of it and let us know if it’s similar to what you perceived when you were accidentally misusing N2O cartridges.
