Miles and Issy,
Please dont let that crap ass programme put you off dentistry. It was totally sensationalised (is that even a word??!!) to get people to sit down and watch TV. IMO, the dentists the hypnotherapist were all given a brief to follow by the BBC. I got 3 teeth pulled last Thursday under sedation. Leading up to he appointment i kept thinking of the guy who needed all (or nearly all i'm not sure) of his teeth out,and how even with the sedation he was moaning and moving his head but really and truly and i cant emphasise this enough it was totally painless and discomfort free. The poor dentist had to tell me to stop talking so he could get the teeth out and i refused to believe him when he told me that he had two of them out because i was like there is no way that it could have been that easy. You know what though it was. Thinking back to the programme, i find it odd that a sepearate anestheist (sp?) was bought in to administer the IV and then during the treatment was no where to be seen. It looks like he just bunged in what he thought nescessary and then wandered off. Which is nuts because the guy could obviously looked like he needed more and could have gotten it but the other bloke had gone home. It looks like the bbc looked around for dentists who would do the work either for free or at a reduced rate in exchange for a bit of publicity and this guy didn't offer sedation so they probably had to look around in hospitals for an anesthesiest. The one they found could probably only stay for and hour or something. What a crock of the brown stuff.
As for the jags at the front, i had 2 front teeth filled about 11 years ago and even then, waaay back then, with a dentist who was a prat and about as gentle as a rock, i remember that front jags were always easier and less sore than back ones.
