The experience wasn't as scary as I was expecting. I went in at 10:15 am and was out by 12:30pm. But thanks to the laughing gas it was actually pretty enjoyable. While under the effects of the nitrous oxide, the thing I was most preoccupied with was that I thought I needed to adjust my head on the headrest but was too lazy from the gas. I left the dentist's office sporting a new temporary crown and return in two weeks for the real thing.
I was pretty numb and still feeling a little light headed from the gas but I headed back to work picking up a sandwich to take to the office. It was tough to try and not bite my tongue while eating the sandwich. By about 4pm the numbness finally wore off and I am pleased to report that I am experiencing no pain.

ohhhh! Bad news, but you are still the king.
I think you deserve a proper coronation ceremony with trumpets and a red carpet - if just for your clever post! I love your writing style, Dog. Thanks for coming by my stoop so that I could find your blog.
BTW, your dentist sounds like a gem. Maybe when I'm in UT in a couple of months, I should go and see him. The dentists in this part of the country SCARE me.
Thanks Kiwi. I think my dentist is really good. He's Reed Robinson and I've really liked the new dentist in his office too. He's Owen Wolfgram. It's a little weird calling him Dr Wolfgram though because I'm pretty sure he's much younger than I. :)
I love laughing gas. It gives me weird audio hallucinations. I'm pretty sure the dentist has figured out I'm a junky; I keep showing up with cavities in hopes they'll offer me more of the sweet sweet gas...
