They're the side effects related to Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can are mostly damage to the nerves and brain, sometimes they can be irreversible

  • Fatigue
  • Decreased concentration and memory
  • Depression
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Neurological symptoms such as numbness and tingling in the extremities, due to peripheral nerve damage and demyelination.
  • In a worst case scenario, it can lead to Alzheimer's dementia
But this only can happen if the person subjected to nitrous oxide had deficient levels of Vitamin B12. Since N2O deactivates it. But if the person has normal levels of Vitamin B12, he can tolerate the levels of N2O used in dentistry.

So, if you're suffering from those effects, usually taking Vitamin B complexes supplements should be enough, recovery can be slow though (consult a physician, this is not a professional prescription).

I had dental work done over a month ago. I have felt ill since then, i don't know if it is from the 3 hours of nitrous, the silver filling or the bone left exposed in the roof of my mouth.

Can you eat before getting nitrous oxide?

Of course you can eat, but if it is a good idea? Well, it might feel like you are about to puke if you eat right before, but it depends on how much nitrous oxide you get. If it's just to 'numb' you a little, it doesn't really matter. But if you are about to pass out because of it, you better be on the safe side. If you do not eat an hour or two before, you should be almost perfectly safe.
