Thanks for the laugh, it's a good read!
1) Surprisingly, no one's really sure how nitrous works. The effect on the brain is known but the receptors that it acts on is not. It's a topic of much debate and research. No problem taking it with ADHD.
2) Don't worry about the anesthetic. Even if you take nitrous, you still need anesthetic. It's a good sedative but not a good anelgesic. So, nothing to feel bad about at all.
3) You need teeth. If they are your 3 lat teeth, the only options are implants or a partial denture with implants being a way better choice but more expensive.
4) For upper jaw teeth, it works by infiltrating into the bone and gets to the nerve that supplies the teeth through the root. For lower jaw teeth, we can get to the nerve directly with the syringe. Once the lidocaine gets to the nerve, it blocks the conduction of nerve impulses.
5)
They have roots so that they stay in your jaws.
6) You must be mistaken about a 2 cm overjet. Normal is 2 mm and I don't think I've ever heard of a 2 cm one! What to do depends on whether it's a function of your teeth or your jaws. Go see another orthodontist... sorry like I've said my ortho knowledge is lacking.
7) Are you sure you didn't get root canals? That's what it sounds like from your description. If not, I have no explanation. Sorry.
But thanks for the great post! I
loved the picture.
