Is it true that in the US, patients are not allowed to drive themselves home after receiving nitrous oxide? Are individual dental offices allowed to set their own "rules"? Or is there a standard "waiting period" before the patient is discharged (assuming their awake and alert), at which stage they are allowed to drive? This pertains to Michigan. Thanks :-) !
