He discovered the anaesthetic properties of this gas, whose first use was in the extraction of teeth' >He discovered the anaesthetic properties of nitrogen (I) oxide ('Laughing Gas'(FOOTNOTE>Nitrogen (I) oxide was discovered by Joseph Priestley in 1772.</FOOTNOTE>), whose first use for this purpose was by Wells, a Connecticutt dentist, in 1844 for the extraction of teeth. Nitrogen (I) oxide is still used as a light anaesthetic in up to half the operationscarried out in the UK, although there have been recent questions concerning its safety, due to post-operative complications.

I've added another header, which I think is called for, but I don't like the wording I've chosen. Do you have any suggestions, or should I just remove it again?
