Dentists told not to use laughing gas until op ends

Dentists in central and southern Israel are instructed not to use laughing gas on their patients during Operation Protective Edge, as it could impair patients’ (particularly children) ability to run for shelter should the sirens sound, Haaretz reports.

The directive, issued by Clalit Smile, is compulsory for its dentists from Rishon Lezion and southward. For dentists elsewhere, it is advised not to use the laughing gas, but remains up to each individual practitioner to decide.
