Unfortunately it seems like fewer & fewer dentist use nitrous these days, likely due to regulations (related to additional ventilation requirements) which make it cost-prohibitive. Interestingly, however, anyone can buy big tanks of nitrous on Amazon. Of course it's "food grade" nitrous, not medical grade, but that only means it's like 99% pure versus 99.9% pure, so basically the exact same thing.
