Friday I'll be having four molars extracted and six implants placed in my upper arch. I'm frightened that my dentiat who is a resident, will drop my molars, (or pieces of them), if they are sectioned, into my throat. A dentist in the past has dropped two temporary crowns that were connected into my throat. It's so hard for me to trust my dentist because of this. I feel very vulnerable laying back with my mouth open at their mercy. I'm also dreading the pain during the palate injections. In June when I had my last upper arch surgery, the supervising dentiat told my dentist to inject slowly. This was after I let them both know before they started the surgery about my previous palate injection experiences. It didn't help:( I still had tears in my eyes from the pain.

I hoping the Triazolam will help take the edge off my anxiety and fear.

Wondering if anyone else has ever had anything dropped into their throat at the dentist or are you frightened that something will fall into your throat?
