Best Answer

Yes

While the above answer appears to be true, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) does not actually block the pain felt by the ensuing operation. Nitrous oxide, in fact, simply sends a message to the brain, making it, in "scientific" terms, go to "la la" land. Hence, the brain does not process the pain as much as if nitrous oxide was not in use.
