Yes, several times. I once struggled to pull the mask off and ended up getting too much gas, and had nightmares about if for years. On other occasions it was fine at the time- I used to go off within seconds-but I always used to struggle to wake up and remember being shaken and made to stand up when I wanted to curl up and sleep.
Yes, I did, once, it was awful.
I fought having the black rubber mask held over my mouth and nose as the gas was turned on and made me feel as if I couldn’t breath. The dentist and nurse held me down and clamped the mask on me as I struggled and screamed, I must have been about nine.
Obviously it worked and knocked me out so the tooth could be extracted, and I came round.
The dentist was very cross with me and shouted at me for upsetting the other patients who could hear me in the waiting room, as could my mum.
I was terrified, my mum was angry with the dentist for the way he behaved and gave him a piece of her mind, and we changed dentists.
To this day I can still smell the horrible rubbery mask and the gas.

I remember my first time under gas at the dentists when i dreamt i could hear the song 'Come Outside', though it sounded as if it were being sung down a metal tube. When i came to, i was quite unsteady on my feet and my aunt said, "That's what it feels like when you're drunk." I promised there and then never to get drunk. I kept that promise until i was 14 :-)

^^ Me too, but I had a rubber apron on and wore a rubber cap well. The smell of the rubber was terrible and still lingers. As I have said before Dentists years ago should have been called Butchers. They were cruel

Anyone who had gas as a child has dual memories of the smell of gas, and the smell of the rubber mask.
My dentist was quite kind, he would hold the mask near my mouth and let the has blow in until I was drowsy, and then clamp it on as I lost consciousness - but as advised, the memory of the smells never leaves you.

>>> Dentists still use gas
No they don't.
Dentists have been prohibited from administering general anaesthesia since January 2002. If a general anaesthetic is deemed to be necessary for a dental procedure, it has to be administered by a specialist anaesthetist in a hospital setting and is more likely to be given by injection than by using any type of gas.
Between 1996 and 1999 five children and three adults died as a result of being given general anaesthesia by dentists, which resulted in the Chief Medical Officer banning the procedure.

Holt died in 1979, after a Harley Street doctor, Dr. Gordon Kells, administered a lethal and massive overdose of anesthetic whilst attempting to remove a verruca on his big toe. The overdose stopped his heart and was hit by pneumonia, however the doctor was cleared by the jury at the Old Bailey in July 1981. Kells died in 1997 from a heart attack. Holt's sister Pat Melbourne featured in the 1997 Channel 4 documentary The Krays: Lords of the Underworld in which she spoke about her brothers death.
Holt was part of the followers of the Kray twins - clearly the one who like young men

I had Gas a lot as a kid and even in my 20s before the gas restrictions came in.Black rubber mask big thick black gas hose over your shoulder and the dentists voice telling me to breathe deep in and out.The last time he was telling me to imagine being at the garage putting petrol in the car.The dam stuff actually smelt like petrol then.Weird as thats one smell I do like.Worked on me as I soon was off asleep and the tooth was extracted.
