I went for a cleaning today and as an area of my mouth was sensitive the person doing the cleaning numbed it with the gel stuff and then did the needle. I've had that done before with no problems. This time, though, I did swallow a little bit of the minty gel, but I figured I'd be fine since I don't mind mint. Nope. Right after the area got numb I felt my mouth fill with saliva and for a while there I felt like I was going to throw up. Not a good feeling for someone who is an emetophobe (fear of vomiting).
What happened? It was an afternoon appointment and I ate something wayyy before and was at the point of getting hungry again, so was it the fact that I had nothing in my stomach? Was it swallowing some of the numbing gel?
This feels like a setback because while I've never been a fan of getting cleanings this it was just horrible.
Any input would be appreciated, thank you.
