Hi,
Does anyone feel the dentist drill as in when it is in contact with and drilling on the tooth the vibrations send sensations through your body? When they use the drill each time it comes in contact with the tooth I will get this nasty shiver that runs from the general area in my head down through my body. It happened over 5 times last time as the drill stopped and started and each time I would get this sensation.
I tried to look online but all the results would say "the sound of the drill is enough to send shivers down peoples spines". But I don't care about the sound that much and the little drill wasn't as bad. But the bigger drill the vibrations go right through me! I can handle the injection, it's painful but only lasts a little while. But the drill goes on for much longer (or feels like it).
I'm thinking my body is just too sensitive but I don't know if more anheastetic would even stop vibrations affecting me like that. I had 1 injection I think and maybe some gel.
My newer dentist is a little friendlier (as in they don't try and pull out or drill a tooth just for stepping in the door, answers questions etc.). So I have been braver about the dentist than in the past and may ask them next time. But yeah just wondered if anyone has any ideas or similar experience, this drill thing has always bugged me...
