Hi everyone I am new here and badly in need of support / help. I have been petrified of the dentist for as long as I can remember. As a result my teeth are in bad condition. I wait till I'm in extreme pain before I even think about going......anyway, last Wednesday ( 7 days ago ) I was in sheer agony and made that dreaded trip to the dentist. I told him to treat me like a child ( I'm 49 ) as I was terrified. He put " magic jelly" on my gum before the injections and he easily removed an upper back tooth. 7 days later my face is still numb, sore and bruised! My gum is fine though. I went back this morning and he said it's probably deep bruising. At the last minute he decided to x ray my mouth...he immediately changed his attitude and became kinda shifty and said he was putting me on review and wants to see me every week. He said something rather strange too...he said " remember we are here for you Mrs" as I was walking out the door. I am so worried I won't get the feeling back in my right cheek, lip and under my eye. I have another tooth that's causing me pain but don't think I will ever go back....my fear is worse than ever now
